Iraq and Vietnam - You Mean, There Might Be Some Differences?

This . . . is a GREAT letter to the editor (WSJ).

No Vietnam Quagmire.
Art Fougner - Flushing, N.Y.

Iraq is just like Vietnam except: We occupy Hanoi. We’ve captured Ho Chi Minh. The North Vietnamese have just held a free and democratic election. The North Vietnamese are working on a new constitution. Yes, Iraq is just like Vietnam.

(I might have included: The North Vietnamese government is working with us to eradicate the Viet Cong.)

But it's short and sweet, and makes the point in a superb manner with a fresh angle.

I like it. Mr. Fougner nails it.
