An interesting comparison of Vietnam and Iraq can be found here

An example: A Soviet Army veteran on Russian TV last week offered a useful reminder: “We took the presidential palace in Kabul in three hours. We took the city in 24 hours. It was only 10 years later that we left, and there were no smiles on our faces.”

Just had 2 cups of quite strong fresh coffee and now I'm buzzing lightly. Wheee!!!! Better get on with some work while the feeling of being awake lasts.

Another article, Jonathan Freedland's column in today's Guardian, shows Bush commending the Northern Irish peace process while ignoring the applicability of its lessons to the Middle East, or Iraq.
