And there aren't two hostile nuclear powers supplying weapons and other supplies to the hostiles.
There are parallels, though. Now, as then, there are a bunch of academic and media airheads attacking the Administration ceaselessly. And the Gummint, instead of rallying the country, is doing little to make the public understand we are in a war, and sacrifice, courage and discipline are in order.
And due to the Gummint not doing enough to rally the country, many people answer "no" when a pollster asks them if they approve of Bush's handling of the war. Which causes the liberals to interpret this as a peacenik sentiment (funny that the poll questions never try to break down the reasons people say they disapprove. I guess they just don't want to know). Which causes the liberals to pour themselves another generous cup of political Kool-Aid. Ah, well.
