L'auteur critique à la fois les républicains et l'aile gauche des démocrates...
"Right on cue, a few weeks ago, Howard Dean, the 62-year-old former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, urged Obama to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan -- the very place the SEAL team that killed bin Laden is stationed -- because the war was "unwinnable." After all, Dean said, the Vietnam War "showed us we shouldn't prop up corrupt governments and that's what we've got in Afghanistan."
Luckily, Obama did what most Americans do with Dean: He ignored him. But if Dean and others on the anti-war left had their way, U.S. troops would have been pulled out of the region before they took out bin Laden.
Dean's ridiculous invoking of Vietnam reminded me how grateful I am to have come of age after the fall of Saigon. I was born in 1967, about six months before the Tet Offensive -- the bloody battle in January 1968 that historians say changed the course of the war."
