Answer 2

Good question, deserving a wider audience. I can't help a lot, but am aware of the civilian body count process, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Body_Count_project .

You may have to put that timeline together yourself; wikipedia should prove helpful.

This Iraq war has lasted half as long, practically, as the Vietnam war. U.S. involvement in the Vietnam conflict ran over ten years (1963-73), while this Iraq conflict starts its fifth year this March.

Answer 3

There is absolutely no similarity between the two.
