Green Zone looking like Sitting Duck

clippers remarks: I was just thinking how the recent fighting in Baghdad, focused around the Green Zone and Sard City, had comparisons to the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, and those pictures of the US helicopters fleeing of the roof of the Hanoi US embassy.

As a sidenote, It is interesting how an indigenous force uses the terrain and the weather while an occuping army fights against it.

Could you imagine the US Army planing actions around sandstorms?

I read that in Vietnam the Vietnamese quickly realized US actions, especially air strikes, always took a break for lunch.

The USA should negotiate some final political settlement and get out of Iraq.

I note there is a lot of the now-common propaganda between the lines involving latest battles, such as the idea the US is battling an "army."

It is not an "army." It is a militia. Its made up of citizen soldiers mainly from their own neighborhoods. Compared to the US Army they are like fleas on the back of a dog; fleas that are apparently hard
A Storm of Sand and Shelling

Shelling rocked the Green Zone as a sandstorm blanketed Baghdad on Sunday,

Clashes continued over the weekend in Sadr City, where U.S. and Iraqi forces have confronted fighters tied to the Mahdi Army, the Shiite militia loyal to anti-American cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

A study made by Pitzer concludes that Sweden, Vietnam, Denmark, Norway and Japan are the least religious countries in the world. The United States is one of the countries at the end of the list.


Religiones

It?s interesting that the US is the country with less percentage of atheists and Vietnam is the one with more percentage of atheists. The second country with the highest atheism level (purple bars) is Japan.
