Iraq today: Vietnam revisited?

POST-WAR Iraq continues to be a bloody mess, with all sides continuing to sustain casualties. Complaints multiply, shortages continue, public utilities remain unsettled, salaries are still unpaid and lethal violence lurks in both background and foreground. 

US forces now have to remain longer than most people expected, only because a swift pullout is difficult and not because staying would guarantee success. This has disappointed supporters of the war even more than the warmongers themselves.
