1. It was unsuccessful because of the South Vietnamese government and how it was viewed by those in Vietnam. After the assasination of Diem, the government was hectic and was never successful in reastablishing itself. This made it unclear what the country's intentions were and made many of the locals uneasy. Also, due to a huge dislike of the SV government, the Vietcong provided internal pressure and caused us to have to fend from all sides. It also accounted for the "madness" during the war; we were never certain who was who.
2. It seems as though many people are labeling Iraq as another Vietnam, meaning that we're just using up weapons, funds, and lives and not acheiving anything. Because of this, many are demanding the withdrawl of our troops, saying that we won't be successful. (Also, many feel like this is a pointless war, which is similar to many feelings during Vietnam)
