The only comparison is if American’s lose their resolve (again) and cut-and-run leaving their friends to fight the bad guys all alone.
If that happens, America will once again become a "paper tiger" which happened after Vietnam and did not change until the 1980s.
Does anybody know or remember the hundreds of thousands of people who died in SEA AFTER America deserted them?
Another example is Somalia. Our lack of resolve in Somalia gave Bin Laden strength in the belief that America was a "paper tiger" unwilling to fight anything long term.

more the reason to support our troops instead of casting off into the losers column.

people don't have to support the war...just support the troops that are there already.
how does this look when they look back here for support (home) and just see this shit all over the place.

just my 2 cents...

This button is in no way against the people doing the job over there. In fact, it's not really against those spinning the yarn over here. It's just a statement that history appears to be repeating itself. One would think "we" would have learned, right?

Like the Vietnam conflict, this "war" is based on not-so-well hidden objectives and false pretenses. It has been overly politicalized and under strategized since it began because of the above statement.

Perhaps the button text could be more simply stated as, "Operation Iraqi Freedom is Newspeak for Southeast Asia style black ops and advancement of US business interests".

OK, I guess that's not exactly simple English, sorry! :-(

i agree exiter in that we need to support our troops, i have studied again and again certain aspects of the is so called quagmire that every one seems to think were getting into, Violence in Iraq is actually decreasing, Patrols are involving less american troops and more of the Iraqi forces that we trained, also on the govt side of things, bush was given bad intelligence from the CIA, and if you have intel that seems so great it would be easy in and out you would do it plain and simple, but when you find out when its bad u cant be like oh well. And yes if we cut and run all we did was lose 5,000+ americans for nothing, we will be known as quitters and our overall appearence as trustworthy will decline again. And Shawnblog history will always repeat itself no matter what we can learn from them and i think we have in this case in that we havent decided to just quit and leave everything we tried to set up to be destroyed by:Iran, Turkey, Syria, or saudi Arabia
