War in Iraq Less Popular Than Vietnam
A Gallup poll shows that, three years after the U.S.-led invasion, there is less domestic support for the war in Iraq than there was for the Vietnam War at the same stage. 57% of those surveyed now consider it a mistake to have sent troops to Iraq, as opposed to the 48% who felt the same way about Vietnam in April of 1968. The numbers are especially surprising given that, three years into the Vietnam War, the U.S. has already suffered more than 28,000 casualties, as opposed to the 2,417 announced deaths in Iraq.
