even then, lets assume maybe the maddox was attacked by the north vietnamese....

they were doing coverert, sometimes-illegal missions. Again, the government got us in a mess, decided war was the solution, and many people died. I'm afraid if we elect a democrat in '04, something like this will happen again. He'll pull a Johnson and say 'no war' until elections are over.

I just wish- God forbid -we had a government that wasn't so secretive. Its completely contradictory to the ideas this country was founded on......
