The United States did not destroy Germany because that nation was presumed to be the next battlefield against Stalin's aggression. Likewise, Japan was rebuilt against Mau's aggression. Viet Nam was a miss-handled mix of too many politicians playing at being generals and too many generals playing politics. Iraq is a mistake only in that we never expected the enemy to not only fold as quickly as it did, but that the country would become a magnet for tangos. In this respect, the war in Iraq is a good thing, as it provides a focal-point by which the enemies of the US/West are drawn out into the open. It may very well turn out to be another "Tet", which will give the anti-war nits their ammunition, but remember that "Tet" virtually destroyed the Viet Cong. Just my oppinion...I'm probably wrong.
