It's NOT Viet Nam

We all know how tough it is to think about the war against terror as the war in Iraq.
What most thinking Americans believe is that we have a war on terror and right now the battlefield is in Iraq.
The idiots in some circles like to say that the Iraqi's don't want us there, that's why they are killing us. Then, they say those magic words, "WE DON"T WANT ANOTHER VIET NAM."
Does it drive you nuts, too, when they say that?
The Vietnamese wanted their country. NEVER ONCE was there a terrorist attack in the United States committed by Vietnamese military or guerrilla forces. NEVER.
But the war against extremist Muslim terrorists is a far different matter. They aren't fighting for a country, they are fighting for a religion, and that religion hates everyone who isn't Muslim. These extremists don't wear uniforms, and if they weren't fighting us in Iraq, they would certainly expand the battle to Europe, and other places, including the U. S.
So, when someone says the war in Iraq is just like Viet Nam, snap their head off and tell them they only wanted their country, while extremist Muslims don't want Iraq, they want the world.
And remember, when the war in Viet Nam, the communist regime there and Pol Pot killed millions, yes millions of people.
What frightens me is that no one is ready to ask the question---WHAT HAPPENS IF WE LOSE THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISM?
Think about it.
