I'm curious Redsfaithful, if Iraq is just like Vietnam...

Where are all the protests in the streets?

Why isn't the rock world turning out protest songs?

Where are the celebrities throwing their allegiance behind Saddam Hussein?

Why haven't we approached the 58,000+ soldier deaths?

Why is there a first-ever election in Iraq this month?

How did President Bush get re-elected... when LBJ dropped out in '68?

There have been many large protests. Especially if you include the rest of the world.

The rock world is turning out protest songs. American Idiot?

Saddam Hussein isn't in charge of Iraq anymore, so I'm not sure that's relevant.

How many died in the first two years of Vietnam? The first two years of Iraq? Iraq is greater.

I certainly hope the election makes things better.

No war president has ever lost a re-election bid. But Bush came awfully close.

Actually, who cares as it apparently didn't matter anyway that no weapons of mass destruction were found and the Al-Kaida links were not proven as well. If more people had a look how Hussein got his power (and which country was his main supporter during the Iran-Iraq war) they should realize how absurd politics can be. The U.S. is currently the most powerfull country in the world, so they will do whatever they feel is right or might help their worldwide interests. That's not even a typical American behaviour - it's the human nature.
