SoxFan... you no nothing about the war in Viet Nam and that's OK. It's been over for a long time now.
Currently we are fighting the Islamic fundanentalists in Iraq and Afghanistan. If liberals like you get in power we'll be fighting them in New York and LA. You don't seem to understand what this war is about. IMO
It depends on what your definition is "win" is, to paraphrase a recent President. Even if all the insurgents are killed and all the militias are disarmed, how can we win if the majority Shi'ites give us the finger and sell all their oil to the Chinese. Wouldn't that be a fitting end to the matter >
