10 Years After Vietnam War
Apparently it’s time again for our annual convulsion of guilt over involvement in Vietnam, now 10 years behind us. A noble purpose, a doomed effort, a tragic ending.
The lesson we have failed to learn and may well repeat is that the spread of communism unchecked anywhere is Communist victories everywhere. Southeast Asia has now fallen victim to this modern cancer, while new seeds fester in Central America.
Where do we make a stand and stay the course? Mexico? Catalina?
