What is the difference between the Vietnam War and the Iraq War?

Bush had a plan to get out of the Vietnam War. ;-)

4. Huge difference - Iraq is filled with deserts. Nam had forests.

Big savings on agent orange.

7. And we got to use up the leftover napalm.

Bonus!

8. Unfortunately...

Depleted Uranium is going to make Agent Orange look like Kool-Aid, you watch.

9. Very very true, but hey, waste not want not.

10. The U.S. was a lot stronger forty years ago.

That's the lesson the rest of the world has learned. We're going to really regret allowing these lunatics to take charge.

:grr:

11. Iraq has oil.

About 30 years! ;)

13. The Vietnam war was not a war of conquest, but one to free the South

Vietnamese people from the scourge and clutches of godless communism. It's a shame millions of Vietnamese had to die/be maimed and the countryside laid to waste by our dropping more tonnage of bombs than was dropped in Europe (if my recollection is correct) during WWII, not to mention Agent Orange, nor our losing 60,000+ of our own troops, including a first cousin of mine, but these too were but small prices we were willing to pay to keep those commie bastards in the north, albeit unsucessfully.
