Vietman involvement went for- say 1956 to around 1973 with more than four years of heavy combat involvement.Korea? We are still there. Iraq just follows a pattern set by our foreign relations powers to be used ; problem-reaction-solution. The solution here was to build bases in one of the last oil rich fields before others in the world could cement any deal. Now we have a base bigger than Vatican City and the oil fields were the first thing to be occupied-last thing to be left to the people of Iraq. It has been far easier this time around to prosecute war with a paid-pro military. Anyone see that coming? Perhaps go back and read some of Durant's east-to-grasp history of Rome to get a better view on our future. War is part and use of economics. I'm sorry for the fallen and their family members. cabman So far, this isn’t the longest war for the U.S. in my opinion.
