This is not another Vietnam. It's not even close. It's messy, yes. The situation is much closer to the relationship between Palestenians and Israelis. We can expect the bombings and resistance to both the American occupation and the American-installed government to continue. Whether it stops after the elections remains to be seen. Just depends on how well "sovereignty" is sold to the Iraqis - whether they buy the myth or not.
The powers-that-be will repackage the myth as many times as needed to get it sold to both the Iraqis and world at large. Until everyone seems happy and nothing has really changed.
