Bush in Vietnam

Dear editor:

So President Bush thinks it is wonderful the way Vietnam has become a pillar of rebuilding, economic growth, and a forward thinking government. In case Mr. Bush didn’t notice, all of this has been accomplished over the past 30 years after the United States armed forces declared victory and left their country.

Did he ever stop to think that maybe we should give Iraq the same opportunity, declare victory, and get the hell out? If we did, there’s a 50-50 chance that another U.S. president thirty years from now could go to Baghdad and make the same observations about Iraq.
