Iraqinam?

There's nothing that bothers me more than the twisting of historical fact into political rhetoric to justify a certain course of action. I've been watching President Bush use our withdrawl from Vietnam to justify not withdrawing from Iraq for years, and however you feel about the war, the analogy just doesn't fit. As the article linked states, "Asia didn't go Communist. Our Asian allies didn't abandon us. Rather, the Vietnamese began to fall out with her Communist allies."

And the boat people I understand, but the killing fields? Sorry, but that was Cambodia, not Vietnam. Sheer historical fact twisting, misrememberance, and idiocy. I just can't stand that sort of thing.
