Paraphrasing Bush
--- Millions of citizens paid the price for US withdrawal from Vietnam...
Okay, did the Vietnamese follow us home to kill us?
--- We must listen to our enemies, and they say our withdrawal from Iraq is our loss and their victory.
Why weren't we listening to them when they kept attacking us after leaving the army in Saudi Arabia? I mean, they just fought a war to expel the Russians and they start attacking our soldiers in Saudi Arabia...I detect a pattern.
--- The Khmer Rouge went on a murder spree because we left
Well, they actually started their cultural purge when we were bombing convoy routes within Cambodia, and it was the Vietnamese who went into Cambodia and ended the slaughter.
I thought the lessons of Vietnam were: dont prop up corrupt regimes if you have to bleed for them too. Dont get mixed up in civil wars. And dont let lying politicians scare us into foreign wars.
We didn't learn these lessons
