19. I agree. We don't need to constantly reference past evil
to define current evil. The violence in Iraq does not have an ethnic motivation as far as what US forces have done. Ours is also a multi-racial and multi-ethnic force.

I just saw another post regarding Iraq's "Tet offensive" moment. I think we are losing scope of this particular disaster when we compare it to Viet Nam. Talk of our "losing" in Iraq like its something that can still happen loses scope of the fact that with the amount of time, lives, and money we have already given we have already lost.
