Czuch: It sounds like the Vietnamese are gracious in victory, and also - as (V) says - its Communist party recognizes the importance of friendly relations with the U.S. for economic development.
If Iraq manages to kick us out, maybe in 20 years they'll make some progress and then be gracious in victory as well. You'll then claim that all their progress is due to the U.S. invasion? lol
In one sense, you are partially correct. When an enemy doesn't kill you outright, he makes you stronger. Make no mistake, the U.S. govt. was an enemy of the Vietnamese people, and it is now an enemy of the Iraqi people.
