"Similar to Vietnam"

in so many ways. How many times we gonna make the same mistake before we learn from it?

Of course, easy to say now 20 years later. In the wake of 9/11 many of us were all for going to root out terrorism instead of just waiting for them to strike on our soil again. Just have to assume that either a) the leaders had no idea what that really meant or how to achieve it, or b) they did know and chose to ignore it. Not great either way.
