Grave responsibilities flow from starting the war in Iraq

This article compares Vietnam to Iraq. However, they are both totally different from each other and aren't alike at all. In Vietnam the US intervened in an existing mess, but in Iraq we created one by voluntary war. The actions of America have taken many Iraqi lives. We will soon be doing more harm by staying in Iraq than we would by leaving them to govern themselves. Judgment on that will never be easy or tidy, but we have to make a decision soon.
