Vietnam was a geopolitical game for the US, on the fringe of its interest. And still it took 58,000 American and millions of Vietnamese lives before it was over.
Iraq will never be over, because dominating the diminishing oil reserves of the Middle East is the core of US interest. It's the centerpiece of empire in the New American Century. This war - and it will not be contained to Iraq - will not be over until the American Empire falls.
