Well, I could go on if you like. Would you like me to get into the Vietnam 
war? Now THAT really gets interesting, especially when you compare public 
opinion at the time with subsequent interviews with former North Vietnamese 
generals, in which they specifically cite how US public opinion caused the 
US to lose the war, how the North specifically used this in their strategy, 
and how the North delighted in the results.
