ANOTHER VIETNAM?
As of late, we have seen the inevitable comparisons between the war in Iraq and the war in Vietnam (the yardstick by which liberals measure all wars). While I'm disinclined to call these wars similar, there is one important parallel: the use of the American media and left wing anti-war movement as propaganda weapons by our enemies. Consider this response by Bui Tin, a former colonel in the North Vietnamese army when asked about the purpose of the 1968 Tet offensive:

"To relieve the pressure Gen. Westmoreland was putting on us in late 1966 and 1967 and to weaken American resolve during a presidential election year."

This interview with Bui Tin is very enlightening as to the role of the American anti-war movement in the North Vietnamese victory. It's also very relevant to our current war in Iraq.
