No one said Iraq is another Viet Nam. Viet Nam had become "Vietnam" because of China factor. And there is No this China factor for Iraq. So why should someone compare it to VN? Having said that, Iraq resistance will NOT be stopped until the day the US soldiers is out of their country. I hope I am wrong, although I doubt it.
