| #2 IMO Brooks is making a mistake grouping these events. Vietnam was a limited war in the context of a global cold war. Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan are parts of bigger war. On 9/11 2001 the there was a massive attack on American soil. The attacker did not observe any limits when selecting targets. Without these attacks there would have been no conflict and Western defeat in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. The US could afford to lose the Vietnam war because it was a limited war. The US and NATO could not and cannot afford the 9/11 war and yet the 9/11 war is lost. The world now knows that a massive attack on the US will make the US & the West docile, submissive and obedient. Such an attack is a winning move, not a mistake. |

| #1 Technically, Iraq was won, then thrown away similar to winning WWI only to have to return again in WWII because the corrupt, petty, tribal, and incompetent locals and a similar American administration. |
