Iraq is this generation's Vietnam

Re: T&D Aug. 25 editorial on the war: First off the comment made, and I quote, "President Bush and war proponents rejected any comparisons to the U.S. war in Vietnam, where America ultimately ended military involvement and left the South Vietnamese regime to fend for itself. The contention has been that if the United States exits Iraq now in the name of letting the Iraqi government handle security and sort out the mess there, the regime will fall and something worse will follow."
