America left South Vietnam to its own devices in 1975, leading to 2 1/2 million deaths and totolitarian governments in Cambodia and Vietnam.
So I assume the anti-war mantra now is: if it turns out no worse than ‘Nam every thing will be fine.
Also note that in ’75 all the South was asking for was material support and airstrikes against the invading North.
The anti-war folks who constantly scream about genocide now want to enable another one.
OK.
So the question is: if our leaving initiates a genocide in Iraq should we go back to save the people we once promised to protect?

There are long term consequences in defeat, and the problems seen after Vietnam did not start and end with millions dead in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. And they did not end with the end of the USSR, either, for the cowardice demonstrated in 1974 now gives the enemies of liberty and freedom a way to win and hope that they will win.
Congress is incompetent and no longer doing the work assigned to them by the Constitution. This, too, is a price of the Vietnam war, where Congress evaded their responsibilities and no longer supported their own word nor supported the Friends and Allies of the Nation. Now this latest generation of enemies comes to Congress seeking relief from being attacked and pressed.
And the Union is ill served by this Congress and those that enabled this to come to pass which are the previous Congresses all the way back to Vietnam.
When does America stop running from the butcher?
He has a bill with each of our names on it and a bloody cleaver and means to wield it. We pay the mere interest on the bill today and wail and cry like children… and the entire bill is coming due.
The increasing capitalism of Vietnam should make it clear the US won the Vietnam War.
We should ask the Democrats how bloody do they want our inevitable victory to be.
