We are only a few days into this war. It is way too early to see "vietnamization". I see your point, though: there is a risk that the Republican Guard just throws away their uniforms & blends in for a long haul.

We need to clamp down on this and teach a lesson to those who make this choice.

One huge difference is that the VC had the backing of the vast majority of the population in a dense jungle. Everything I have read point to only loyal Baathists wanting a fight here. Also, the open spaces of Iraq make geurrilla warfare a much more difficult strategy.
