Why are you sick of it? What are the main differences you see?

Because the main difference I see in the Iraq conflict is that the USSR isn't backing the insurgents this time. In fact, there really doesn't seem to be much cohesion in the insurgency at all. I'm wondering if they spend as much time fighting each other as they do fighting our guys.

I think the similarities between Iraq and Viet Nam (at least, from you and I are) happen to be the perception of whats happening. We are actually seeing the destruction and violence in live, screaming color. We didn't get that before VN. But, I think I'll collect my thoughts on that one a little better and start a thread on that.
