I doubt it would show that. If the Big Boys turn on Bush it will only be on his tactics, not his goals. Vietnam was an important but not by a far sight a crucial battle in the Cold War. Control of mideast oil and world hegemony are inseparable. The u.s. won't give up except under extreme (and at present unimaginable) pressure at home and abroad.
