The far right neoconistas prattle on ad nauseum saying that if we don't achieve victory in Iraq, we will soon be fighting the terrorists on our shores.
Anybody remember Vietnam and the "threat" of monolithic communism? The propagandists said that if we didn't defeat the commies in Vietnam, they would take over the world and our way of life would be gone.
Well, we lost in Vietnam and pulled out. Communism since then has gradually lost power and adherents, and in China and Russia capitalism is growing and growing.
Is there any possibility that we can learn anything from history? The philosopher George Santayana famously said: "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it".
IMPEACH BUSH
