 | It took Americans far too long to wake up to the fact that Viet Nam was
a big waste. Even today, many still believe Nam was worth fighting?!?
The anti-war movement was rather small in the overall scheme of things.
The war continued for an astouning 10 years, even with the anti-war
movement. In the Pentagon Papers, the govt. admitted that they brought
Viet Nam to a close, but that was after 10 years, 58,000 American
lives, and 3,000,000 InfoChinese lives. This atrocity would never have
happened if the American people weren't PROGRAMMED to accept war as
being acceptable and even preferrable. Viet Nam posed no threat at all
to the U.S. It was a war fought for vague idealogical reasons, having
more to do with the profit motive than any real threat. Blame greed
for the debacle known as Viet Nam.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, do a little research. Not just among the left-wing
hate mongers. The rubber plantations in Vietnam were a much greater
cause of war than any idealogical reason.
Look at other wars that the USA has fought, mineral rights in the
Balkans, oil in the middle east, WWII again oil, Spanish-American war to
protect USA banks and their loans, Mexican war to expand borders and the
tax base, American Civil War well look here:

Can you find a war that did not have an economic basis that the USA has
fought?
