Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch.com: ''Still, credit must be given. Increasingly poorly remembered, Vietnam is now one for the ages. After so many years, Afghanistan has finally emerged as a quagmire beholden to no other war. What an achievement! Our moment, Afghanistan included, has proven so extreme, so disastrous, that it s finally put the unquiet ghost of Vietnam in its grave. And here s the miracle: it has all happened without anyone in Washington grasping the essence of that now-ancient defeat, or understanding a thing.''
