Not perhaps the best article to reprint
WSJ yesterday tried to show that the enemy seeming formidable doesn’t mean it’s unbeatable. They reprinted an article first published in 1966, which, if taken out of its original context, can be helpful in evaluating the upcoming war against Iraq, while making us feel good about ourselves (I say “us” because the war in Iraq is just as much ours as yours).

But given the path the Vietnam War took after this piece was written, and the final outcome of that war, I found it less than reassuring.
