Does Anyone Here Think We Could Have "Won" The Viet Nam War? [View All]

I think this is an interesting question to ask, not just DUers, but to ask those running for the nomination for president of both parties.

I realize that there are some (even those who lived through that time) who believe that if we'd just stayed "x" number of years longer, or dropped even more bombs, or did some other unspecified action, that we would have 'won'. "Winning" of course is never really defined, but I suppose could involve popular support of the puppet we installed as 'president' of S. Viet Nam or the end of fighting in S. Viet Nam with popular support for the government we installed. I don't think we could ever have had them accept a Western puppet government.

John McClueless believes we could have 'won' in Viet Nam. He is among a dwindling number of sycophants who when they utter that thought, make most people shake their heads....as if they'll never ever learn a damned thing.

Its past time to start to compare these two debacles, so that we can find who the clueless are among the candidates. I'd like to know what Guiliani thinks, what Thompson thinks, what Governor Goodhair thinks.
I think it can help to marginalize them and make people understand that if they were elected, they would help prolong a lost cause.
