What is different between the French in Vietnam and the Americans in Iraq is that The French were the government, the US was not. The reason we were there so long was that we let the Baathist army keep it's weapons. The French didn't do that.
It all goes back to the aftermath of the "First" Gulf War, where we encouraged the people to rise up, and when they did, we let them get mowed down by the tune of a quarter million.
Are you saying that South Korea is a complete and utter failure? Are you saying that there is an ongoing insurgency in South Korea and that the US is not doing enough to stop it?
Are you saying that Kim Jong UN is the rightful ruler of South Korea?
No, the fault lies with Bush sr, Francios Mitterand and Dr. Bashir's daddy, who let a genocide happen after we liberated Kuwait. There were five very pro-western governments who had liberated themselves from Saddam and WE LET SADDAM kill THEM.
What were the Ottomans doing there anyway? Didn't they declare war on the Entante (UK and France) in 1914? Doesn't that make it the Turk's fault entirely?
What right did Saddam's uncle have to stage a coup in Iraq in 1978? What right did have to invade Iran and then Kuwait? What gave him the right to commit genocide against his own people? So it's it all HIS fault too?

Why would anyone trust us after that?
North Vietnam was a colonial fief of the Soviet Union which the US didn't invade and therefore let it be for the most part.
