Huh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Vietnam The central role of the Communist Party was reasserted in all organs of government, politics and society.
my point is, that the same is probably true in Iraq. There'll be chaos and madness once the US retreats... but it won't be as painful as an extended war [a' la Vietnam]... and the chaos will probably solve itself a lot faster once you remove what's causing the irritation [the US troops]
George Bush just gave $30 billion to Israel. It is Israel's agenda, not the US that is the impetus for the war. Amnesty International has come out in opposition to the tactics used by the Israeli's. I have known many jewish friends who have left Israel as it was not a safe place to raise one's family. There are many jews opposed to the war mongering going on by the Israeli government. The Arabs will fight back as long as they have nothing to loose.
