The lessons of the Vietnam War are many, but surely one of the most educational is the realization that experts often are not.
From a column by Joseph Galloway, Knight Ridder Newspapers, in today’s Albuquerque Journal:
" A year ago, testifying before Congress, [Paul] Wolfowitz predicted that securing postwar Iraq would be an easier job than the United States and its allies faced in Bosnia or Afghanistan. After all, the deputy secretary said, there’s no ethnic tension in Iraq."
Enough said?
