“The analogy of Lyndon Johnson suggests itself very profoundly,” said David M. Kennedy, the Stanford University historian. Mr. Obama, he said, must avoid letting Afghanistan shadow his presidency as Vietnam did Mr. Johnson’s. “He needs to worry about the outcome of that intervention and policy and how it could spill over into everything else he wants to accomplish.”
That's right, Vietnam. Our Left has no clue what happened in Vietnam but they always label a war they oppose as the "next Vietnam." Afghanistan is now the "next Vietnam." Which means, for the Left, that it must be a "bad war" after all.
They still have that pot/protest buzz going from the era and constantly seek to relive their glory days when opposition to basic hygiene and the Vietnam war defined their generation. I wish President Obama good luck dealing with his loons.
