Great stuff! If you/I/we had any doubts, mine have been eradicated. From the moment of the 2000 Election, I had a feeling something was wrong.

The war is ideological, deep and intense. Shame of it is that few people know.

Vietnam comparisons by the lefties will be over by around Chrismas/beginning of '04. By then, the situation in Iraq will have changed too much. Truthfully, the only Vietnam similarity so far is that neither war was over inside of four months. Otherwise they're completely different, and by the end of this year I expect that'll be obvious to everyone but the blind and the stupid.

The Six (6) Beliefs of the International Left Elites

First, there is distrust in the concept of absolute and objective truth. ‘Truth’ is viewed as contextual, situational, and conditional (Biggs and Powell, 2001).

Second, emphasis is placed on fragmentation rather than universalism, again pushing away from the general and encompassing toward the particular (Powell, 2001).

Third, local power is preferred over the centralized power of the nation state, and the decentralization, or the process of democratization of power, is a pervasive theme of postmodern narratives (Mestrovic,1994).

Fourth, reality is simulated but is otherwise not a very meaningful concept; reality conceived as a general and universal truth is profoundly doubted (Foucault, 1977).

Fifth, we are seeing the rise and consolidation of consumer culture that tends to put ‘power’ in the hands of the consumers, but can also equally manipulate consumers through marketing ploys and interpolating discourses of consumer freedom by dictating costs in global market place (Biggs and Powell, 2001).

Finally, diversity and difference is emphasized and valued above commonality based on homogeneity (Powell, 2001). Postmodern analysis of culture is no longer a fringe perspective as it promotes strategies of individualism and diversity; and it is critical of strategies that devalue individuals because of any characteristic that control access to knowledge, and that assault identity (Biggs and Powell, 2001). It sees ethics as situational.

It's true that the American media spun the horrendous Cong defeat during Tet as a loss for the U.S. But OTOH if the U.S. military hadn't done what they did, it probably wouldn't have been possible. "Dereliction of Duty" is a great, albeit painful, read. Some of the nastiest, most dishonest people in the U.S. government wear uniforms and work in the Pentagon. They have no honor. I can say that - I'm a civilian.

The VC was not a viable fighting force after Tet - the people did not rise up to support them, and they were slaughtered by the thousands. But our U.S. media, loyal to commies as usual, spun it as a defeat/setback for us! One thing that war taught - our media can be the moral equivalent of a fifth column.

It is up to us, who served an uncaring and oft undeserving nation once before, to make sure the men and women serving today are not subjugated to the same treatment when they come home this time.

How true! When my husband returned from Nam, he was warned not to wear his uniform because the American public had become so hostile to our military.

I haven't read all the posts here, but on a different note, it should be pointed out that any comparisons of Iraq to Viet Nam should include the statistics that an average of 500 body bags/week were being shipped home. (That's my husband's recollection and I don't have the exact stats - that sounds like an awful lot ... maybe someone has a documented number?)
