CNN has just released a pollthat found 52 percent of Americans, according to a new CNN poll, say Afghanistan has turned into “a situation like the U.S. faced in the Vietnam War.” More than two-thirds of respondents said Afghanistan probably won’t have a stable government within the next few years. Also:
“„According to the poll, 59 percent of people questioned opposed sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan with 39 percent in favor. Of the 59 percent opposed, 28 percent want Washington to withdraw all U.S troops, 21 percent are calling for a partial American pullout, and 8 percent say the number of troops should remain the same.
I don’t know what follows from a sentiment that Afghanistan is another Vietnam. Vietnam is a bit of a Rorschach test. But it’s obviously a bad thing. Although Matthew Yglesias points out that Vietnam ultimately didn’t turn out so bad in the long run!
