Gwyn goes double-negative on Iraq

The Toronto Star's Richard Gwyn has some words for those who would formulate such a simplistic equation as Iraq=Vietnam:
It's certainly not true that the fact that no dominoes fell after North Vietnam's victory means that it can be assumed automatically that nothing much will happen after a U.S. pullout from Iraq.
"The situation in Iraq is as complicated as my sentence construction," Gwyn seems to be saying. Or rather, doesn't seem to be not saying.
