Our other problem goes back to Vietnam as so many things do. For years we wanted the Vietnamese to come to the negotiating table, and they would not. It was not until the Linebacker Operations where B-52 flew round the clock bombing raids that they finally did. (A move which again would be considered especially unacceptable today) What is important there however is that anyone who has really studied Vietnam knows at that point the North was defeated. They could not have kept fighting another 6 weeks, let alone another 6 months. Yet, we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and because we were tired of the fighting simply left. Anyone in the region whom we are trying to convince to side with us no doubt has the worry that we will eventually get tired of being there, and simply leave. Where does that then leave them?
