How is this like Nam? Where are the invading troops in N. Iraq? There are none because a separate country isn't coming in from the north, in fact, northern Iraq known as the Kurdish region is doing very well!

Is Iraq a war that we have inherited from France? Granted, part of it was caused by Frances dirty deeds but still, they didn't leave us holding the bag like Nam.

Pissed off Sunnis and radical Shi-ites does not make a Nam. They currently have over 300,000 troops trained and it'll be a matter of time when they get control. It's in the best interests of this entire region and some of their neighbors are starting to realize this.

Comparisons like this make me laugh....sorry, but they do.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
