Just looking at it for a parallel in Iraq. It seems that the groping political strategy between the two are relatively similar----the longer these things drag on, the more they favor guerrillas.

The two answers I have thus far suck. One is obsessed with government conspiracies and "evil" corporations, the other is obsessed with "liberals".

they really are very different.. with the exception that liberals are/were hell bent on losing both and on destroying the US for their own political gain. the press is anti mil. and anti US as well, along with the UN and of course Jane Fonda has been irrelevant...so far

Vietnam was a political ploy, supposedly to prevent Communist escalation in Vietnam and French IndoChina. It was fostered on the American Public by big business and lack of diplomacy. So many of our efforts there were sheer stupidity (I was there for seven years) and we paid the price both in men and money. Iraq is the same, a political ploy fostered by big business....OIL and we will be dragged down into the quagmire of a war that the soldiers and the American people lose heart in. Guerilla warfare is hard to suppress because it takes about 200 men to isolate and kill a single guerilla....tunnel warfare. North Korea published a bulletin about two years ago teaching people how to prepare for an American Invasion....but it takes only one man to kill many with a grenade or a bomb. It's time that the US begins to re-think its policies and reach compromise than expect our might to be an answer.
