To the Victors

CNN reports Gen. William Westmoreland, who commanded American troops in Vietnam -- the nation's longest conflict and the only war America lost -- died Monday night.

If that's the only war we lost, why the heck did we have a Gulf War II a decade later to get the same guy that "started" Gulf War I? And seriously, with North Korea launching missiles over Japan, while building nukes...did we really win the Korean War? Does the definition of winning a war entail making things in worst shape for future generations? If we went by that definition, the Cuban missile crises was a defeat because Cubans aren't still threatening us with nukes.

To think we lost (or left) the Vietnam War, yet when was the last time we felt threatened by the Vietnamese.
