This current war has a Vietnam-like hopeless smell. We got rid of Saddam, so why are we still there? The oil. The Iraqis are jockeying to assume "power", or at least the power we allow them. Once we pick a horse and polarize the situation, Iraq has every requirement for being another body-count war like Vietnam. It lacks a superpower backer, but it's got the entire oil rich Muslim middle east to stand in. I don't see our current Israeli-like tactics winning a lot of hearts and minds. Once it's clear we're not leaving, it'll get even worse.
