Vietnam was a mistake and the USA is doomed to repeat this mistake because they are unable to look in this subject (it took them till now to report about tiger force...) and they tend to ignrore the past and refuse to learn the lessons. instead they insist that the problems "now" are much mor importand.
The USA need a high dose of "Vergangenheitsbewältigung" (~"coming to terms with the past")

"It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
