338. Cali, should the Dems have supported Nixon's "Peace with Honor" approach?
It was very popular among Americans whose pride was wounded by the Vietnam debacle. Just like the soldiers interviewed in "Iraq War Diary", they refuse to accept that American soldiers died for reasons that are anything less than good and noble and therefore the war must be concluded "safely" (for us, not the Iraqis) and "honorably" (put lipstick on an illegal pig).
If the Dems had adopted your approach they would have gotten 48% of the vote in 1972 instead of a blowout -- and nobody would ever falsely paint Dems as antiwar liberals ever again! Right? :eyes:
