The US in the wake of Iraq mess
“The price of America’s withdrawal (from Vietnam) was paid by millions of inn
ocent citizens,” so said US President George W. Bush, in an unexpected attempt to draw parallels between the Iraq war & America’s cold war nightmare in Vietnam. He also argued that, if the US gets out of Iraq, when the threat of militancy looms large over the West Asian country that would affect the credibility and morale of the US in its global “War on Terror.” So far, the critics of the Bush administration have called the Iraq fiasco, the Vietnam of President Bush. The President is now trying to shift the entire focus from Iraq invasion to the presumed consequences of an immediate withdrawal. Many US watchers are of the view that Bush’s risky game with historical examples is aimed at wining the support of the conservatives, who, still, believe that the Vietnam withdrawal was the manifest of vulnerability of the US political class.
