Casual Articles - Iraq - Is Vietnam Repeating Itself
Wall Street has been preaching for years and years to investors how and where to put their money. The “experts” have put forth these ideas for so long that they seem to be carved in stone just like Moses did with God’s 10 Commandments. The only difference is that what Wall Street preaches is lies that will make you broke.It will be difficult in this short space to elaborate on them, but please stop and give a long think to
It is a weakness currently being exploited by Iran. As a recent US general has said although not formally at war with Iran 'we kept finding their bombs here'. A hark back to the United States problems with Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh trail though Laos and Cambodia. This once again raises the question o
If you could truly learn a skill that could pay you for the rest of your life, how much would that be worth to you?Well the skill is copywriting and it's the most important thing any internet marketer could ever learn. The art of copywriting is really just selling with written words. It's the simple art of persuasion.You're using your copywriting skills when you try to get someone to go see a movie with you, just not
Without too much into the history Vietnam emerged from the second world war and Japanese occupation and like most Asia countries having had enough of colonial domination from Europe. France had not woken up to the fact that Europe's destruction of itself had resulted in a change in the world order. Eventually Vietnam ended up in a Communist North and a 'Democratic' South. The good ol' USA being the champion of the 'Free' west went to war in Vietnam to stop communism taking over the South. Eventually after about 50,000 casualities the USA pulled out under a 'peace' plan - or a mechanism by which the USA didn't have to lose face (peace with honor). Despite this the USA pride and prestige in the world took a huge hit that it only recovered in the Regan years (thanks to the Russians going to the same experience in Aghanstan). How could a world super-power be beaten by a third world country of rice farmers. This of course is a simplistic view - the vietnamese received large amounts of assistance from other communist countries and endued approximately 5 million army and civilian casualities. However the lesson was simple, make America bleed enough and it will pull out. This is what is occurring in Iraq now. The muslim extremists, Iraq nationalists, anti-American coalition or whatever you want to call them are trying to make the USA bleed enough to retreat.
The consequences of such a retreat would be a disaster. Whether you think Bush is an idiot or liar for going to war in the first place are now unfortunately irrelevant. The USA can not afford another loss of the scale of vietnam, with China and India both growing at huge rates, unless the US wants to become the third power it must demonstrate it has the strength to win (strength in the terms of blood). Both India and China could lose a million people and not even batter an eyelid, Russia lost one in five citizens in its great war (WW2), what has the US demonstrated? That it is technologically the most powerful country in the world, but without the willingness to bear human costs. This can be a weakness which others will exploit.

One of the largest issues facing the nation right now is the rising costs of health insurance. Many people can not afford to buy health insurance, because the premiums have been driven up to unimaginable heights over the last decade or so. Many companies are trying to help shoulder the burden of the large premiums by paying a certain percentage of the total cost every month for the employee. Many of these companies have tried t

Knowing when to seek help with credit card bills and high levels of debt is not easy. No one likes to admit they need help, and it can often be difficult to know whether your problems are merely annoying or a real threat to your financial well being. However, the longer a debt problem goes without help, the harder it will be to deal with. While a problem addressed at the first sign of trouble is often easy to solve, the same p

Network Marketing is simple,but doing the old way (i.e.cold calling people) is NOT easy.Don't kid yourself! Let me explain my view of why network marketing is notorious for having a 95% or higher failure rate.Have you ever heard of Occam's Razor?It states that the simplest explanation for a phenomenon is usually the best. We'll use this theory to explain why more than 95% of network marketer's fail. Ready?s of such a retreat would be a disaster.

Unlike the Stock Market, which is based on paper money, Land investment is based on one of the few things that lasts. It’s a very interested phenomenon. Like oil, land is a finite commodity – there is only so much of it. However, unlike oil, land will always be here and can always be changed. These factors make land a much more solid investment, especially compared to the shaky stock market.The United States has seen a dema
It is a weakness currently being exploited by Iran. As a recent US general has said although not formally at war with Iran 'we kept finding their bombs here'. A hark back to the United States problems with Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh trail though Laos and Cambodia. This once again raises the question of escalation of the war and the question of whether the US would really be prepared for a country like Iran where to conquer the spirit and win the war would result only after the deaths of half the country and every mullah - I don't know that the world will stand for that kind of slaughter. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that to be a realistic scenario isn't facing facts and is failing to understand the Iranian mindset - consider the deaths Iran and Iraq went through in their own local war. Don't think that will suddenly change because it is the USA involved. Any such war would require the destruction to the nations will to fight, and given the lessons of the past this would take some effort of a country which would consider any invasion a jihad against the great satan.
Once again we hear 'those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it.'
