Because it is a divide that still grips our nation in a big way. Sin and crime, unadmitted and unattoned for, has a cancerous effect on the spirit, IMO.

Further, the mistaken lessons of it play big-time in opinions about how to proceed in the current quagmire.

John McCain, speaking in Israel, said that people have a right to defend themselves, speaking of course of Israelis who were/are beset by home-made rockets. Apparently he did not or does not retroactively extend this right to the people of Vietnam whom he bombed mercilessly and w/o provocation.

His understanding of the world is badly flawed as a result. He fails to grasp important lessons regarding human nature, believing his pride and presumed righteousness trump such things.
