I don't see many useful points of comparison between WWII and the current war.

Inasmuch as we're not fighting a declared war against any particular state, you're right. On the other hand, the Germans and Japanese were driven by a cult-like fanaticism - much like our current enemy, and we were able to utterly defeat them in less time than it's taking us to pacify a relatively small area in Iraq. I don't understand why.
