This war is very different from the pervious wars where US was dealing with enemies with formidable firepower. This war is also getting un-popular and the IRAQI invasion (as predicted by some US analysts to be an easy fight) is slowly becoming another Vietnam with no end to insurgency and stablility is close to dust. Two years have passed and the progress is not that great except for the death toll and damage which rises day-by-day. Also the enemy is not a formidable power but continues to give a formidable challenge. This war won't end up good, I tell you!
I disagree with you.
1. This war might be different from other wars but not from
all of the previous ones. You contradicted yourself saying that "This war is very different from the previous wars" and then stating that "is slowly becoming another Vietnam"-
2.US analysts had predicted that defeating
the Iraqi Army would be easy for the US itself, they never used those words to describe the postwar period.
3. This war has NOTHING to do with VN. Nothing on earth, as many other more experienced fighters and experts and veterans have been saying here lately.
4. Whaat?? The progress my friend is indeed greatest if you think of what we have accomplished coming from a bloody dictatorship: we have liberated the country, we have been able to deal with the Shi'ites and the Kurds, to hold elections and to have people crowding them, and to have a legitimate government. Now we are having the Sunnis join the system -
This is not too bad all in all. If journalists just left their hotels in Baghdad and headed south they could see what we have been accomplishing so far.
5. Al Qaeda and the terror network is indeed a formidable power.
