It's the American People's Vietnam. Bush won't be fighting there, and his daughters won't be there either (the military doesn't like druggies and/or felons).
Now we're in it, and, dammit, we just can't get up and leave. W has managed to screw it up so royally that US troops -- and probably others -- will be there for years to come. Ought to make him pay for it -- after he's out of office.
