Naturally, optimists stress how the Middle East country is different from the Southeast Asian nation, where the United States suffered the first defeat in its history. They point to these facts: Iraq has no big supportive powers like China and the former Soviet Union, the main sponsors of the Vietnamese communists; Iraq has a mostly flat and open terrain compared to the Vietnamese jungles; and in Iraq, the insurgents are largely concentrated in areas around Saddam`s hometown.
