Modern Vietnam
Do you believe that Iraq can turn into a modern day Vietnam someday?
The casualties in Iraq fail in comparison to those that died in Vietnam. BTW, Vietnam's economy is booming now!
If your trying to compare the conflicts than no. The rules of engagement are totally different. The ROE allows the military to do its job in Iraq. The ROE during Vietnam had all the decision (along with targets) being chosen by Johnson and MacNamara. Johnson wouldn't let his own Generals do their jobs. G.W. Bush is allowing the military to do what it needs to do in Iraq.
Now as for in the future. Vietnam's economy may be on an upswing, but it is nothing compared to what Iraq could be if the people decide what they want it to be.
So no on the conflict part and yes even more so on a good economy for the future.
