As I recall, in VN Nixon bombed NVN till it signed a peace treaty, whereupon we pulled out. I think that was early in '73. Then Nixon was forced out over Watergate, NVN broke their agreement and in early '75 invaded SVN. We abandoned SVN, cutting our aid to the nation and even embargoing fuel shipments to the country during the NVN invasion in the spring of '75. Of course, our situation in Iraq is very different in many ways. One of those ways is that we didn't have UN endorsement for our involvement in VN, while we now do in the case of Iraq. We can say very publicly that we have criminals and terrorists within our midst AND come out the better for it. We are supposedly setting some kind of democratic standard for the ME. Or course, we investigated Abu Ghraib and are trying the people who committed the abuses. That's a good example. Right now, the ME is saying that we're occupiers ignoring the sovereign national government and that we should leave Well, some people in the ME say this - al Sadr, al Zarqawi, etc. But the UNSC has unaminously endorsed what we are doing now in Iraq - UNSC resolution 1846.
