Americans make Vietnam connection

Apparently, most Americans get it. After years of not paying attention, Americans have woken up to the war in Afghanistan, and they do not like what they see. The CNN poll shows that by 52-46%, people feel the conflict has turned into a situation like the Vietnam War.

In case you feel like you alone out there opposing an escalation and supporting a withdrawal, more Americans are with you then you think. The same poll found that Americans oppose escalation 59-39%. In addition, 28% want a complete, immediate withdrawal, 21% favor a partial withdrawal, and 8% think troop levels are just about right. Those numbers fall a few short of 100%, but it looks like at least half of Americans favor a partial or complete withdrawal. As I always say, those numbers will only go up. For opponents of the war, now is the time to make your voice heard.
