That didn't work in Viet Nam.
Think it'll play well now? The Neocons won't do it and the other wing of our one party two right wing system is *afraid* to recommend it. And, of course, we need that oil for our SUVs. My guess is we'll be there damned near as long as we were in Germany. Only this time, 10-20 deaths/month until we leave on average. And the fscking place will always look like Beirut.
