A better question is WHY are we in Iraq? 65% of Iraqis don't want us there. Plus a MAJORITY of Americans don't want us there either. I thought in a Democracy, the gov't obeyed the will of the people, but I guess Bush pretty much goes his own way. Way to go, Mr Democracy. Why don't you just get out of office and go back to school and learn the true meaning of A gov't for the people and BY the people?

No - the overriding justification for staying in Vietnam was to stop the spread of communism, and let a free people remain free.
Iraq is a totally different situation.

Maybe not same words, same meaning though.
If we leave Iraq oil will go up again and Bush will look like he can't get the job done.

they are both crap wars. History will judge them both to have been based on a misunderstanding.
But you might as well hang for a sheep for a lamb, and away you go!
