    As a Vietnam Vet I want to share this piece of history:
    "What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes.
    If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it.
    But we were elated to notice your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!"
    General Võ Nguyên Giáp, from his memoirs in the Vietnam War Memorial in Hanoi.

    The moral of the story: remember who the real enemy of America is.
