Worked reasonably well in Vietnam, except of course for the Vietnames and Cambodians.
But does anybody seriously think that if (when) we run from Iraq the jihadists won't follow us here?
When we left Vietnam and Cambodia, we left rice fields, not oil fields. We also left our honor when we reneged on our promises to the Vietnamese. Most politicians have no honor; they are too worried about getting reelected and that is our fault. I agree, jihadists are far more dangerous than the threat of communism ever was.
I think the followers of islam who want to kill us are moving here legally by plane loads and unguarded border crossings. I also think home grown mohos are sprouting up like dandilions in springtime.
I think its mohos vrs Christians all over again but this time its the mohos who are on the crusade in our lands. I think the real war will be fought in Europe, Africa, South America,and the USA
