Vietnam is a much different country than Iraq. Iraq is more like the Balkans with its religious and ethnic divisions. The big failure in the Balkans was that no one intervened until several years into the war.
At this point there is no war of occupation in Iraq. There is a popularly elected Iraqi government, and if they ask us to leave tomorrow, I have no doubt that we will pack up and go. The war is now a war of liberation from Sunni (and to a lesser extent) Al Qaeda tyranny. On 6/14/06, Gruss wrote: > > > That's a bold comparison - Vietnam would be more appropriate.
