Ron Jacobs: Rumsfeld''s Delusions by RON JACOBS

This scenario is more similar than different to the one that played itself out in Vietnam in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, just like it is more similar than different to the French experience in Algeria. There will be no real elections or peace in Iraq until the occupation forces leave completely. That means no bases of any kind, no CIA agents, no contracted mercenaries, no puppet army, and no crooked client rulers. In short, it means that Washington must leave now, not when it wants to. It is up to us to make this happen.
