After American M-1 tanks rolled into Baghdad to depose Saddam Hussein, one of the central military questions was where the United States might fight next. Would American forces continue their march to Syria? Or would the Bush administration step up the military and political pressure on Iran? Two months after the battle for Baghdad, the answer is known: The next fight is in Iraq...

Cool! Iraq now has great beaches and cheap prostitutes, great. Just kidding, America should have had a plan for law and order.

It is a mess, no reason for the war, no reason for the suffering of the citizens of irak, for the dictatorship and the war suffered and the embargo, and then no order restored, america puts the same police that was in the saddam dictatorship...
Then they will put mcdonalds and stuff like that, reconstruct the country they destroyed with american companies and EU will pay to those companies to help to "rebuild the damaged country".
All hypocrites, they just need to mine the ground like they did in vietnam to make it look similar!!

Actually Iraq looks a lot like post war Germany
Cold anger would also advise you to check your facts

Iraq is starting to look like Vietnam? Man, you should stop smoking whatever it is that you’re smoking. Iraq can't even compare to Vietnam! The average life expectancy in combat during Vietnam was only a few minutes I believe! Compared to Vietnam, Iraq was a walk in the park. I think you should listen to Toltec and get your facts straight.

I don't think Iraq looks that much like Vietnam either, but there are two issues here.
1. The military strategy and overwhelming superiority of the US forces brought about a reasonably quick end to the 'official' war. The war 'ended' through media duplicity with the toppling of one of the lesser Hussein statues right next door to the International Hotel, where the media were able to broadcast the messages of victory from.
2. The involvement in Iraq after the 'official' war is going to be long and drawn out and messy.
