The similarity between the wars in Vietnam and Iraq are that the same Democrats (and communists) who led the protests against the former are leading the charge against the later.
The Iraq war is over. Saddam is deposed. The transition government is in place. We continue to fight the War On Terror in Iraq. We "could" pull out and let the country slide (or at the very least, give the terrorists a victory over "the Great Satan").
There is no insurgency any more than the KKK in the reconstruction South were a viable alternative to the Yankee occupiers. Should the government have retreated when the KKK was still killing government officials in the 1960s?
