Hey, Bobert! You sometimes make a lot of sense, and can really write English, when you try. Keep it up! I hope, as you do, that some future administration may someday get us out of the mess this one got us into. But I doubt it. In the case of Vietnam, every government from Truman on down got us one step deeper, because no one wanted to back off and be called unpatriotic. I'm very much afraid that Iraq is going to be like Vietnam (without the jungle).
