U. S. President George W. Bush (2nd L), who is attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, meets Vietnam’s President Nguyen Minh Triet (2nd R) at the presidential palace in Hanoi November 17, 2006. “Much like Iraq, Vietnam has shown that our former enemy is now our friend. We ultimately achieved our goal – a stable, capitalist government that is no threat to the region. These little guys put up quite a fight, America lost the rice war, but things have worked out for the best after 40 years. Something like this will ultimately be achieved in Iraq. Vietnam is a great trading partner for America, and I believe this will be true eventually in the Iraq situation. Now you know my strategy; sometimes we just have to allow a potentially problematic country to defeat us in battle, and then wait a few decades for things to cool off.
