"Ultimately, the President came to be identified personally with a war that seemed unwinnable. As a result, his popularity sagged drastically, dipping below 30 percent in approval ratings." [link]
"The latest CBS News poll finds [the] President´s ... approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the ... war has risen to a new high." [link]
One of these statements is about Lyndon Johnson during the Vietnam War. The other is about George W.
What did American citizens think about Vietnam in 1968? What do we think about Iraq today?
What do Americans think about Lyndon Johnson today? What will we think of "W" in forty years?
Interesting questions, but totally irrelevant to the soldiers they both sent to war.
History repeats itself
