It's easy for some to confuse the personal tragedies and global issues.

Bowser — 9/30/2004 12:32:01 AM (archived)

There are local, personal issues. Such as the refugees, generally people who assisted the US.

Then there are the more global issues.

For instance, conservatives ignore the personal issues of the hundred of thousands of Iraqis who are killed, tortured, maimed, displaced, robbed, etc., in order to focus on the more global affair of owning Iraq.

However, when it suits a conservative purpose, they will drag up the personal tragedies, and there are many, such as your post.

Globally, there wasn't much of an impact on withdrawing from Vietnam.

Globally, there will be one helluva global impact, and not for the better, due to Bush's expansionism in the Middle East.

And there are many personal tragedies.
