How does the theory that Iraq is becoming another Vietnam hold water in your eyes?

Hanson: Our enemies are fascists not communists; our military is professional not conscript; there are not nuclear patrons of the Islamicists threatening the US with missiles and defining the parameters of our military options; and so far our total casualties after a year comprise about 1/50 of the Vietnam War’s fatalities. The idea of leaving abruptly, of abandoning friends, of creating a sense of American weakness and unreliability—these are of more concern.
