I don't get it. All the fuss and furore over going to war in Iraq, so the American people are looking more and more likely to replace Bush with a candidate who's main selling point is that he is a...war hero!? I mean, come on, 2+2 equals how much?

They didn't really, in fact they made it worse by bombing neutral Laos and Cambodia, at which Communist governments were then installed. The US didn't stop anything, nor did they contain it, as 58,000 American service men were killed along with two million or so civilians in a war which acheived nothing.

Point?
Even if the USA managed to stop the 'domino effect' in South East Asia, they did not stop the Viet Cong, Vietnam is Communist (and yet nations like Thailand are still monarchies) and thousands of young men were killed.

I'd disagree it was something as strong as murder.
Surprised no one here has commented on the latest Bush Vietnam related news story...as in a one year gap in his service record by all accounts.

The Bible Code sold plenty of copies, but that doesn't mean the whole book wasn't predicated on a big lie.
Well the guys who wrote them sold plenty of books by all accounts.

Only joking.
Anyway, I studied Vietnam at university in second year - very interesting course that went from nationalism in the 30s to the revolution that turned into a war of ~1945-whenever, and looked at things from a French/American point of view too. And those arguments you mention don't stand up to very much scrutiny at all - just sounds like a last-ditch effort to justify murder on a grand scale to me.
