Thomas Ricks wrote an excellent article in today's Washington Post on the errors the United States made in fighting an increasing insurgent war. The article is entitled, "In Iraq, Military Forgot the Lessons of Vietnam." Mr. Ricks has an excellent history of understanding the situation on the ground in Iraq as he has travelled with US divisions from Baghdad to Anbar province and all around.
I highly suggest you take a moment to read his column for a brutally honest look at our current situation in Iraq.
Fortunately, it seems that civilian and military leadership might finally understand how to be successful in this war. The real question is, "Is it too late?"
