p>The fatal blow to the Democrats was not, as Lord says, the
divisive debate over Vietnam in Chicago in 1968. The fatal blow was
the failure of President Johnson to follow a strategy to win the
war in Vietnam. The American people tolerate war, as long as it’s
being won. (Well, except for Dave Dellinger, but he is — or was —
that rare bird with unshakeable convictions.) LBJ’s strategy in
Vietnam created an unwinnable war, and that was intolerable. As
Bush has done likewise in Iraq, we can expect a repetition of
history.
