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

Not to mention that the Ba'athists don't have the USSR supplying them...not unless those Russian arms deals amount to a whole lot more than they sound like now.
