The longer the wars or war go one, the more war there will be. War begets war. We should have stopped with Afghanistan.
I agree with that. We could have been out as late summer 2002.

How can one expect a person to be credible in a politilcal discussion in the year 2013 when they need to ask for a definition of neocon to determine if they are one or not?
terms like neocon mean different things to different people, I was merely asking snake what he thought it meant.
BTW grow up and act like an adult and you might have some credibility.
I'm not the one challanging the definitions of terms or words, that is specificly what children often try to do. Terms like neocon are not supposed to mean different things to different people. You can lean one way or the other, or define yourself as the follower of a specific era or founder of neoconism, but a neocon is a neocon. As I sit here I am asking my 5 year old if she has finished her lunch. She keeps telling me she loves peanutbutter and jelly. That tells me she hasn't eaten the bowl of peas and corn that came with the sandwich.
I agree with your feeling, but in no way could we have won in Vietnam unless we were willing to use nukes, and that was just too risky.
I am curious: are you a neo-con, Redfish?
we will never know what could have been done in viet nam because the military was not allowed to fight to win, I don't think nukes would have been needed.
define neo-con and then I will answer.
We will also never know what we avoided. If we had done too much and the Chinese got heavily involved, things would have been much different. And even in that case if we had won, who is to say that the Chinese would not have continued it's attack later, or we would still be fighting that war today?
I am in firm agreement with not getting involved in Vietnam.
In retrospect, I don't know that how we could have avoided it.
