The Bush solution
Expand the war to Syria and Iran
By Sara Flounders
“When faced with an unsolvable problem—expand the problem.”
This cynical political advice supposedly hangs on the wall of U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s office.
35 years ago the U.S. war in Vietnam became an unsolvable crisis for U.S. imperialism. President Richard Nixon had promised to establish a stable puppet government and train a Vietnamese army to take over the fighting from U.S. troops. But the war was unwinnable because the Vietnamese resistance could not be broken. By 1970 the U.S. population had turned decisively against the war.
The Pentagon suddenly opted to “expand the problem” by invading Cambodia, widening the war to engulf all of Southeast Asia.
