Quote:I don't think that Iraq will turn into another Vietnam. For one thing, we had an actual government in South Vietnam, with this we have nothing. We're not even facing another country. Most likely Iraq will be thrown into Civil War, the theocratic Shiites will be dominant, and it will be a repressive theocracy which counter-insurgants fight a bloody war against the resistance and there are horrible atrocities on both sides. Sort of like El Salvador.Fine, then "Vietnam" was a euphemism.
Quote:And Vietnam is no more bad than WWII as far as touching people. People talk of how the horrors of Vietnam scarred veterens, same for WWII.People die in war; it's a given. Whether or not a war is "bad" depends on what they die for.
