Vietnam was a mistake in the domino theory. The Ruskies thought they needed the country, and we thought we needed to stop them from taking it. And yet, where is that country as far as global positioning? The same mistakes were/are being made about Korea. Difference - Korea is still fighting the "cold" war w/our troops. That's a fight that's still close to the boiling point, but we can't look at that because we are in the Iraq quagmire.
Vietnam was a mistake to get involved in. Iraq was a mistake to get involved in. Now we're stuck, and who are our real (troops/money) allies, besides Halliburton, et al.?
