Vietnam's a good analogy, but three things are off about it. One, urban warfare's difficult, but it pales in comparison with jungle warfare. Two, we're significantly stronger now than we were in the '60s. Three, what exactly was our mission in Vietnam, other than to contain the Communists? Vietnam is similar to Israel's jaunt into Lebanon... the mission was very vague. It's pretty clear to me that similar to in a medieval war... in Iraq, the king falls, the war's over. While I do not agree with them entirely, your points are well taken. But how can you be sure that if the king falls, his soldiers will stop fighting? ted
