Desde el año de 1776, cuando las primeras 13 colonias que más tarde serían conocidas como los Estados Unidos de América libraron su guerra de independencia contra Gran Bretaña, hasta ahora, en este año de 2011, cuando el primer presidente estadounidense negro, Barack Obama, ordenó recientemente bombardear instalaciones militares en Libia, Estados Unidos ha participado en 49 guerras en todo el mundo. América Latina y el Caribe han sido objeto de 23 de estas 49 intervenciones militares. De lo anterior se desprende que los hombres del poder en Washington y el Pentágono han dejado de lado la diplomacia y han recurrido a la guerra en 49 ocasiones durante los 235 años de existencia de Estados Unidos. Esto equivale a un promedio de una nueva guerra cada 4,8 años -un dato notable- que los historiadores deben tener en cuenta. En estas casi 50 guerras, la de Vietnam sigue siendo hasta la fecha el único conflicto militar que Estados Unidos ha perdido. En 1975, los jóvenes soldados estadounidenses que perdieron esa guerra fueron recibidos en su país casi como traidores. Y ahora, a tantos años de distancia, Vietnam sigue siendo un tema tan espinoso que no ha sido digerido ni por el Tío Sam ni por la sociedad estadounidense. Zambrano escribió sobre Vietnam, porque viajó a ese país como periodista en 1988, trece años después de la caída de Saigón a manos del ejército de Hanoi. Queda por verse, dice Zambrano, cómo saldrá Estados Unidos de Afganistán, Irak y Libia. Pero por ahora, agrega el autor, Vietnam es la única derrota oficial que ha sufrido Washington.
