The same sorts of things could be said about the people in any war- the differences have to do with the wars. People who protested our involvement in Vietnam looked pretty prescient by the end of that fiasco- but there were the inevitable WWII comparisons in that war as well- they just weren't apt. As you might have noticed, Iraq isn't actually at war with anyone, so not going to war, with a country not AT war, is a bit different than going to war with Germany as it was swallowing up Europe. I realize you don't seem to be able to get your mind around this, but Iraq was not even able to conquer Iran, when it was actually at war, with our backing. I find it hard to find Iraq not at war with anyone, and as weak and pitiful as it is, on a par with Germany. You may see the parallels, but no one I respect sees them. So we'll just have to disagree.
