Right, because after we stopped bombing the North Vietnamese the communist came over here and took over.
The similarities between our screw up in Vietnam, and Iraq are scary. Both military actions were justified by a lie ("Gulf of Tonkin", "Weapons of Mass destruction") and fueled by fear ("If we don't defeat them over there we will have to fight them here in America").
It is amazing that we never learned our lesson from Vietnam. We did not kill them all, yet instead of it being the first stepping stone of world domination by communists we now have Viertnam as a favored trading partner of the United States.
