Letter: No way to win war on Iraqi turf

The Bush administration continues to insist that Iraq isn't another Vietnam. But who buys that? We can pull out now or wait 10 years when we are bankrupt and the dollar is worthless, but we aren't going to win a war against guerillas in their own country. George Washington taught the British that a long time ago. And President Lyndon Johnson learned the lesson more recently in Vietnam.

What in the world was George Bush thinking, anyway? Or does he think?
