Comparing the reasons for Iraqi occupation to Vietnam occupation.
"If we leave Vietnam it'll turn communist." "If we leave Iraq it'll turn into a terrorist hotbed." Would you like to no where I've seen these statements? FR, no. RNC, no. Well where then Sasquatch? Try DU:( Don't you know you're killing your children on a war that's based on lies? This website is one of the few places in the world I can go to get some form of sanity for a while. Now I get Orwellian, Fox news propaganda on DU as well.:wtf: Today I'm so disappointed in you:cry: but I still love you no matter what:loveya:

Vietnam DID turn communist (not that that bothers me very much, they have a right to the government of their choice)

2. Yes, and with VietNam we had the "domino theory"
let that country fall to communism, and the whole region would go communist. Notice how they tout Iraq as key to making the Middle East democratic.
