I'll tell you one thing they have in common: IN both instances, the American left, all the way up to the Presidential candidates of the leftist Democrat party, to the leaders of the Democrat Congress, to their activists and publications, have willingly done whatever they could do to demoralize our troops and their supporters here at home in a time of war. They have staked their political fortunes on America's defeat.

The left and Vietnam: There goto issue

I am so sick of the left bringing out their revisionist self serving fake Vietnam history and metaphors, seemingly every few days, for the past 20+ years.

Enough is enough. I am sick of it...

You must deny the enemy...sanctuaries ..training camps...money...food ...clothing...shelter...
any kind of support...

Saudi Arabia "Palestine" Jordan Syria Lebanon Sudan as well as many Asian nations are not only safe havens for their fellow Islamic terrorists but also provide education and training for the next generation...these Islamic states are nothing more than terror factories

If you are unwilling or unable to destroy the breeding areas swatting a few individuals does nothing except keep people busy and drain valuable resources from your homeland

HAMAS Islamic Jihad Hezbollah al-Qaeda and many other organizations recruit weapons funds and cadre in the west...they have found safe haven in places we should deny...including right here in America..certainly in Mexico and Canada

The terrorists also have found many friends in America and in the west as well as Russia China and N Korea

In Vietnam the enemy had encampments training staging and medical in Loas and Cambodia..sanctuaries that were off limits to conventional troops...so we took the fight to them in an unconvential way...

The war in Iraq has sanctuaries all over the world as well as in the adjacent Islamic nations..
and we need to deny them materials and financing...but then we would have to quit using their oil -& find other sources -or simply declare war on all islamic terrorists and take the resources tht they are waging war against us with........imo

The key to this is who the Iraqi people end up blaming for the ongoing terrorism and sabotage. If they blame the Saddam loyalists and terrorist imports, it might unify them and firm their resolve to back the USA against those who are trying to impede the recovery and rebuilding effort. But if they blame the USA, it will be very difficult to stabilize the country and we could end up with the chaos that liberals have been hoping for.
