The lesson of Vietnam is not that the United States should never go to war. It's that war is a last resort to be used only when there's a damn good reason and peaceful options have been exhausted.

If Obama wins, it will be seen as a referendum on his Bush-like wars and power grabs, granting them permanent bipartisan entrenchment. If he loses, it will be perceived as a vindication of Romney's bellicose rhetoric and a victory for the neocons. The War Party wins regardless.

John Bolton told Jon Stewart he wanted America to be the only nation with nuclear weapons. Stewart is the comedian, but this policy is the joke.

Bush viewed America as a fortress where barbarians were hammering at our gates; as the leader in a global crusade. But Obama sees the US as one of many powerful players in a complex world.

Palin continues to maneuver herself, haphazardly as it may be, into a run for the presidency in 2012. Through it all she continues to delve in a disturbing duplicity, spewing lies and half-truths.
