This weird thing with Americans.

They identify an enemy, they start a war, they commit the lives of their young people to fighting it - and then somehow they think, fuck it! our motives are not pure enough. The time to decide that, was before the war started.

Harold Wilson was so wise in keeping us out of Vietnam, when Australia was joining in the fray and when Ted Heath (the head of the oppostion ) was saying, we shouldn't just be cheering from the sidelines - we should have some regiments in there.

Personally I was against that war - when I saw the gang of assholes they were trying to keep in power. Still even then I couldn't see what Jane Fonda was going on about when she didn't want them to bomb the dams - and eventually they didn't. If you're at war, and the war is worth winning - you do anything. And anything else is a betrayal of the lads who put their lives on the line for you.

You can't keep going on like this. War is war. If you're not doing it as a last dreadful resort (something that you MUST win) - don't do it.
