The sad thing is that he is obviously just playing politics here.  Vietnam was entered, beyond an advisory role, by Kennedy and ramped up exponentially by LBJ, both Dems, so I guess to Maher that automatically makes the war just.  And it's ridiculous for him to suggest Reagan had nothing to do with ending the Cold War.  I mean what does the Vietnam War, which ended with us withdrawing in 1975, have anything to do with the Cold War ending almost a decade and a half later?  Especially when it was reescalating during the Carter and early Reagan administrations.  Completely biased.

Actually Reagan pretty much had nothing do with the end of the Cold War the Soviet Union already was in a rapid decline by the late 70s.  Reagan military buildup in the 80s was a giant waste of money on par with the two unecessary wars started by Bush.

LMAO!! It was in such rapid decline in the late 70's, it took 15 years for it to finally end.  Funny how in the 80's is when they were building themselves up militarily, with even more warheads than the US had.  It was that uncontrolled spending that helped speed up their downfall.  But, the left can try to continue to rewrite history to give him no credit.  I guess I'll just use their logic and give Obama absolutely no credit in bagging Bin Laden.
