There was an established government in Vietnam... it was essentially a war between two factions. The faction we supported lost, and we eventually pulled out.

In Iraq, there is no such established government, except for us - we toppled the existing government. If we were to leave before a new government was established, there would be a power vacuum. No good ever comes of a power vacuum.

It's hardly "my" war (I opposed it from the moment it was first proposed), and I hardly enjoy it. I just think that perhaps the well-being of the citizens of Iraq, and to a lesser extent, the citizens of the world, trumps political point-scoring.

It seems you disagree.
