Iraq = Vietnam
My fellow photog Steve is also, apparently, a history buff. Doesn't surprise me, he seems the type. He writes here of just how similar the 60s war that was Vietnam and the 00s quagmire that is Iraq are:
Go to the library and read a New York Times from the year 1969. Replace the word 'communist' with the word 'terrorist,' 'Viet Kong' with 'insurgent,' 'war on terror' with 'Cold War,' 'gunning down unarmed civilians' with 'gunning down unarmed civilians.' Sure it's not an exact parallel. It's just a striking parallel in many of its most fundamental ways.
Pretty much.
