"Bury the Vietnam Analogy"...

...says Peter Beinart in The Daily Beast today. But I say, every time you listen to a debate about Afghanistan, close your eyes and substitute the word "Vietnam" for "Afghanistan" and the word "Communism" for "radical Islamic extremism," "Islamo-fascism," or "Islamic Terrorism" and it all sounds eerily similar to the debates on Vietnam in the 1960s and '70s.
