12. By any objective standard you are wrong
More Vietnamese died in their war.
More Americans died in Vietnam by a factor of 25 (so far).
Vietnam went on longer.
The cost of war (as a % of GNP - the stat that counts) was much higher in VietNam.
Millions of refugees in VietNam, very few in Iraq.

Iraq was a stupid war. However, Vietnam was much worse by any objective standard.
