Apocalypse Now

You have to admire the sheer brass neck of George Bush for daring to mention Vietnam at all. But remember what his lot used to call our lot when we said that Iraq was a Vietnam waiting to happen. And if the problem with Vietnam was American withdrawal rather than American interference in the first place, then does he wish that the Americans were still there? Surely not? For if they were, then, in his current exalted position, even Bush himself might actually feel the need to set foot there from time to time.

  2. I don't see what that has to do with this post. But possibly with the one below it: perhaps they are just sick of having to pay not only the tax that they'd have to anyway, but also the shortfall caused by the practical exemption of the immensely rich.
