Why not compare. Everybody here does, even you. Because there are things that are similar, other that are not. People died, there is a war of military against non military fighters, there are non-military fighters against civilists, there is the influence of the media, there is no clear way to end the war, ... both in Vietnam and in Iraq.
Other things are different. During Vietnam there were never attacks outside of Asia (right?) and so on.

So I think you can compare some things (if you like to). Saying both are the same is silly!
