Vietnam worries about Afghanistan
Agence France-Presse, 12/15/2009

Vietnam's President Nguyen Minh Triet said he hoped the United States would not repeat the same "mistakes" in Afghanistan it committed in the war in his country over 30 years ago, in an interview published Tuesday.

"I hope that the American and Afghan people do not suffer the consequences caused by the mistakes that the United States committed in Vietnam," he told the Spanish daily El Pais.

He said any comparisons between the 1964-1975 Vietnam war and the war in Afghanistan which the US launched shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks "is relative".

2. Might help if 'someone' would clearly state...
what our real GOALS are in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. Truth would really help.
