The Vietnam Matrix

We seem to be trapped in a time or some alternate reality where the Vietnam war has become the paradigm of all wars.
Somebody needs to take the red pill. Wake up, Rip! That was then, this is now.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al. know what happened in Vietnam, and they know what happened in Korea and Somalia, too. They even remember 9/11. They know the danger of another Vietnam, and their plans take it into account, but they know better than to treat such attacks as just another mosquito bite. They aren't as stupid as the pseudo-intellectuals on the left want you to think. If you want to understand what's going on, you have to acknowledge all of this. If you've chosen to see this administration through the distorted lens of the Democrats and MoveOn, you're not as smart as you think you are.
