VDH asks:

And now the Vietnam parallel again. Are we going to read books in the next decade with titles like “Triumph Forsaken” and “Victory Lost”, whose themes will be that the US had almost done the impossible by going into the worst place in the Middle East and, all at once, addressing Saddam’s reign of terror, Islamic fundamentalism, ex-Baathism, religious sectarianism, Iranian and Syrian infiltration, and seeing something far better emerge—and then at the climax quit in recrimination and despair over the terrible loss in blood and treasure?

Yes -- as long as there are crackpot wingnut revisionists who desperately want to rehabilitate Bush and the GOP's legacy.

BTW, I don't recall Islamic fundamentalism being a problem in Iraq before we invaded it, nor do I remember Syria or Iran being mentioned in da Preznit's agenda the Iraq Resolution.

See, the revision is starting already!
