Is Iraq the new Viet Nam?

Answer 1

No, they are two different mistakes entirely.

Answer 2

Same problem different reasons. The problem is it's a stupid war that we should not be involved in. The reasons? Most people still don't know why we were in Viet Nam. In Iraq, we all know we are there because we were lied to, we just don't know how to get out without the current administration admiting that they lied.

Answer 3

It may sound unpleasant, but Saddam and his colleagues were the only people who knew how to govern such a diverse group of people and keep the lid on the current strife. Despite all the horrors we heard about the Baathist regime, more innocent Iraqis have died in the last four years than in the previous twenty under Saddam. And under Saddam everything like water, gas, electricity, telephones, schools, colleges and universities all functioned effectively. Iraq was another Bush mistake. His Zionist advisors saw the war as a chance to eliminate a threat to Israel and to grab vast oil resources.

Viet Nam was a divided country and that war was a continuation of the Vietnamese desire to shake off colonial powers and foreign intervention. The US and Australians bravely thought it was a war to stop the spread of communism and it failed because thousands of innocents on both sides were being kiled for no visible advantage.

Answer 4

new viet nam,no nothing as righteous as that.Iraq is the u.s.a. mistake on the world,in the future ,all Iraq people must convert to western views or ? cant be done,could never be done,bush should just do what any leader ,real leader would do when such a blunder happens ,to free all us Americans he must sacrifice himself and admit the truth of his mistake,for the future of America,but alas the days of Honor are gone.this problem will not be like viet nam, new generations must face what bush created in there own ways,Iraq is a victim of American assimilation ,i think its terrible myself and well ,their were lotes of other ways to kill civilians,as we see the Jews doing now,America war policy's set good examples ya,and the followers of such are always in the right even if ,they will burn in hell ...

Answer 5

There is no comparison between Iraq and Viet-Nam except in the dreams of the Liberal left, or in the minds of the uneducated.

Don't be historicaly stupid.

Answer 6

Iraq=Vitenam Part 2

Answer 7

Not really comparable in any way shape or form.

Not comparable geographically, culturally, historically or militarily. The nature of the insurgency and the external support of the insurgency, and the support of population against the insurgency is completely different.

The only similarity is the knee-jerk actions of the liberals - that's from the same old tired liberal handbook. Support America's enemies. Support the enemies of freedom. Undermine our troops and our position in the world.

Answer 8

Yes. It is.

We don't have the funding for it, so we're going to have to pull out early, thus creating another Vietnam. We left Vietnam too early, and they crumbled away. Their government wasn't stable enough for us to leave.

Meanwhile, there is no point to all of this war. (I'm a hippie, folks.) It's just another pointless war fought over money, and it sickens me.
