Default Doesn\'t take much to smoke out the \"Vietnam experts\" here

[Howard] Dean is an idiot if he thinks Iraq resembles Vietnam in any meaningful way. So many things about Vietnam are almost the exact opposite of Iraq.

Funny but the hawkiest of Vietnam hawks himself, Melvin Laird, U.S. Secretary of Defense during the latter and toughest phase of the Vietnam War thinks different!

That's the gist of his article in the latest Foreign Affairs magazine. One can google it up if one is interested in an insider's opinion.

But, of course, you guys here could be more experienced in that war -- or you could be more hawkish than ...Melvin Laird.
