After all the years of happening in Iraqi (from war to peace keeping), has Iraq become another Vietnam? Yes or No. Why?

No. Vietnam was an act of containment of Communism. The Gulf War is all about keeping Saddam Hussein from harming his neighbors and holding him accountable to the peace treaty established when he was defeated... Radical Islam is responsible for stoking the fire and causing trouble when most of the other Islamics just want to get on with there lives and American soldiers just wanna come home! It's a shame that the terror element is exactly what is keeping America in the Middle East...

13 out of 18 providences in Iraq are peaceful so it's no civil war or even a major conflict. If you look at the online CIA fact book, Germany has twice the death count per 1,000 citizens in 2006 than Iraq.
During the recent this year, violence has dropped 70% from last year. Also Iraq now has over 300,000 troops/police that are 80% equipt with them being fully equipt by June.
