If Saddam Hussein had withdrawn in response to the sanctions. maybe we would not today be at the edge of a "Vietnam style quagmire"-President Bushs words. not mine. But we will never know. We marched off to slay the "Vietnamsyndrome." President Bushs words. not mine. and landed In a Vietnamstyle quagmire. I know what President Bush Is attempting to articulate. The President would prefer that our wars be Grenadastiny islands where an overwhelming military force can swoop In and out. without detonating a civil war and setting loose 1 million refugees with nowhere to go. Would not we all? Even better would be a war where no one got killed and when the firing stopped. the combatants all went out for pizza.
