I don't think the improvements in Iraq had have much to do with the Bush Administration's military surge. The USA policy of paying off the Sunni Militias at $300.00 per fighter, which is a living wage in Iraq, so the Sunnis would focus on confronting al-Qaida; rather than civil war, probably had more to do with reducing violence in Iraq than anything else.

President Obama has already instructed his military leadership to begin preparation for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, removing the main motivator for violence and instability in the region. Vietnam is now also a peaceful country and American travel there all the time to visit, vacation, and conduct business.
