89. I see a similarity in what they are warning about now

Back then they said if we pull out of Vietnam, then the Communists would swarm in and kill everyone, etc etc. Now they say if we pull out of Iraq, terrorism will increase and it will be bad for the Iraqi people, they'll have civil war, etc etc. I can't help but feel that this is being hyped and we are being "had" once again. I'd be interested in someone explaining the difference. Seems to me the people there just want peace and to be left alone. Win their governments over with economic measures, not war. It is what they did in Vietnam, finally.
