Yeah, I can't claim that my distaste for that war at that time was
based on fully conclusive evidence. But it *is* nice when hindsight
confirms ones judgement of the moment.


Funny thing is, many historians (with the benefit of increasing distance
from the emotional event) are now viewing our decision to fight the Viet Nam
war as pivotal in our ultimate Cold War victory over the Soviet Union. Our
willingness to shed the blood of American boys in Viet Nam seems to have
genuinely stopped the Soviets from further mischief all over the world.

Maybe the war wasn't so bogus after all?
