War Thoughts

Here’s a thought; World War II ended in 1945. Saigon fell in 1975.

One war ended Nazi occupation; the other launched communist occupation.

Today, 2005, we are as far removed from Vietnam as Vietnam was removed from war ravaged Europe.

Thirty years from today, 2035, will my generation look back to find a Euro-like liberation of Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria coexisting with Israel, or, will my generation be standing and staring at another black wall, inscribed with the names of Americans who died trying?
