My my.
Most Bush supporters here are rational and have presented very well thought out arguments. My take on the thread seems to be the opposite of yours.

Iraq is nothing like Vietnam. Vietnam was North against South. There was never an end to heavy combat. It grew right up to Nixon's withdrawal. The US never had control of North Vietnam. It never attempted to gather nationals into an assembly to construct a constitution. It never had the opportunity to search for hidden weapons or POWs. The North Vietnamese people never welcomed our troops as liberators. Because of technological limitations, collateral damage was very high in Vietnam. And we took 58,000 casualties in Vietnam.

Aside from hit and run attacks on our troops, I see no similarities.
