Bill Moyers Tells a Tale of Two Quagmires: Vietnam & Afghanistan -John Nichols

Quoting Moyers: "Now in a different world, at a different time, and with a different president, we face the prospect of enlarging a different war. But once again we're fighting in remote provinces against an enemy who can bleed us slowly and wait us out, because he will still be there when we are gone. Once again, we are caught between warring factions in a country where other foreign powers fail before us. Once again, every setback brings a call for more troops, although no one can say how long they will be there or what it means to win. Once again, the government we are trying to help is hopelessly corrupt and incompetent." NOTE: Moyers' "A Tale of Quagmires" may be seen at http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11202009/watch.html
