We never intended to go to Hanoi. We did intend to go to Baghdad, Tokyo and Berlin. We never intended to occupy any of these forever.

Actually the point I first made was that people die in war, some near and dear and it does not always stop war nor should it. It's for the public sentiment to decide. Which is divided for whatever reasons, some easy to explain and others more complex and not so obvious.

<<Is iraq more like WWII or vietnam, I think the answer is obvious.>>

If this is a quiz, I'd say neither. Each war is specific unto itself.

Iraq is more like "pre-WW2", i.e., invading Germany
to take out Hitler before he invaded the rest
of Europe.

I'm sure the Germans wouldn't have liked us to
invade them during the 1930's, and they would
have considered it to be an "unprovoked" attack
against them.
