Vietnam and Iraq: Thirty Years On

It's now official. In a recently declassified report, the NSA (responsible for much of the United States' codebreaking and eavesdropping work during the Vietnam War) has admitted that there was no attack at the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. In August of that year, reports of a North Vietnamese attack on American destroyers helped president Lyndon Johnson justify a sharp escalation of American forces in Vietnam.

I wonder what history will say thirty years on about the events of March, 2003?
