Well they're both Wars committed by the same Empire but they're not really that similar at all. Noam Chomsky talks about it a lot, you can find a talk about it if you google it. Off the top of my head though the Protesting is completely different. We outright attacked Vietnam and there was no protest for around 5 years. Iraq had major protests before the war even began, that's something that's never happened in history and it really helped. Iraq could've been much much worse, but protests around the world and within Iraq itself prevented the US from completely owning the country. They had to concede and let them have their own free election, which they had no intention of doing on the Iraqis terms.

You should do the research though, it's pretty interesting, there's not really too many parallels though.

Seriously, do you think there are not strong parallels between Iraq and Vietnam? They're not the same, but I'm struck by the similarities in terms of US hegemony. How are they so different?

Another misunderstanding of history. You probably believe that Iraq was like Vietnam or something.

You definitely have a point Yogi. Of course I'm generalizing in my break down of strictly conservative OR liberal. This past election in particular has proven that THAT opinion may need revisiting

I'm sorry but people seem to be talking about "Conservatives" like this guy is one or he's talking about them. No where in this situation is there a Conservative to be seen. The Heritage Foundation is Statist and reactionary, it's not Conservative at all.

No Conservative would support the republican party today and their support of the welfare state for Corporations.
