In fact, Iraq is actually Kennedy's, and all the Left's Vietnam, or so they hope and so they are trying to make it. Bush's mind is quite elsewhere.

The defeat of John Kerry, who was the Vietnam era incarnate, is evidence that Americans don't want to be dragged into all that again. America voted against framing this thing as another Vietnam. Kerry couldn't get people to buy the concept, even with the media and academia and the glitterati pulling out all the stops to make them buy it. But the Left remains thoroughly bought into it. Vietnam was their favorite time and they want to live it forever. An American success in Iraq will be a devastating blow to these people.
