A SPADE A SPADE: Whereas everyone else is covering this war as if it were Vietnam, Newsday's Marvin Kitman has the guts to admit it:
It used to be that every time a U.S. soldier was killed in a traffic accident, it was a major news story. Now it's just "Another Marine got killed today..."

What does this remind you of?

I think what we are seeing now is the Vietnamization of the Iraq war news. And it's scary.
Much as I disagree with Kitman, it's always better to deal with someone who is introspective enough to recognize his own prejudices. That way, you can address the fundamental issues at stake rather than getting lost in the details.
