All right, I'm going to get a tad controversial here. We had a surge in Iraq
three years ago. Last year, Barack Obama, announced an Afghan surge.
How about a Vietnam surge? What if, as Richard Nixon, (love him or hate him), had announced that he was putting more U.S. troops into South Vietnam, instead of pulling them out? Would this counterinsurgency strategy
have worked in the 1969-73 time period, and brought about a real binding
peace treaty?
