Read the whole thread, pan has said this many times that common ground is needed, I'll even do the leg work and find it for you.

Now do you see? Also, so we're jus tsupposed to let pan rant and rave and huff and puff and not respond because he called his thread 'political rantings' when he's as Baraka put it "stating outright falsehoods."? Doesn't work that way, sorry.

Regarding your next comment...you can't compare Vietnam with Afghanistan. We were attacked on our own soil by terrorists who trained in Afghanistan in 2001. Vietnam did not pose a direct national-security threat; even believers in the "domino theory" did not expect to see the Viet Cong fighting in San Francisco. Afghanistan has always been seen as the right and necessary war to fight.

Read what I post, I never compared the two, not a single time did I make a direct comparisson between the two wars, all I asked was how did blindly sending troops to Vietnam end, see the difference?
