Max Hastings 
Many American soldiers are beginning to 
think that the US will not win the war in 
Iraq. They remember what happened in 
Vietnam. In recent years the US army has 
become a very effective army for big 
military operations in other countries, but it 
has never been effective against insurgents. 
It is very difficult for regular armies to fight 
against guerrillas and suicide bombers. 
Some years ago, I heard an American 
general talking about the US army. He said 
to me: "We went into Korea in 1950 with a 
very poor army, and came out of it in 1953 
with a very good one. We went into 
Vietnam in 1964 with a fine army, and 
came out in 1975 with a terrible one." 
Some American officers think the same 
thing is happening in Iraq. The US armed 
forces are fighting a difficult war. It is now 
possible that it will have to leave Iraq 
without winning this war. 
Other people think that America will win 
in the end but not with its army. Edward 
Luttwak, an American military expert, has 
said that the US began to win the Vietnam 
War the day after it left Vietnam in April 
1975. The US military lost the military 
battle but, Luttwak says, it began to win 
culturally and economically. In theory 
Vietnam is still a communist state, but in 
reality capitalism is everywhere. American 
values are winning in Vietnam just as they 
are present in other nations which want to 
be wealthy. 
Osama bin Laden and his Al-Qaida group 
are fighting against this cultural and 
economic invasion but it is a very difficult 
battle. It is more difficult to fight against 
Bill Gates and Steven Spielberg than it is to 
fight against a regular army. Recent history 
shows us that America is more skilful in 
using economic and cultural power than it 
is in using military power. 
Last spring in a refugee camp in Gaza, I 
asked a group of children what they 
enjoyed watching on television. 
Immediately they all said: "Rambo! 
Rambo!”. This was a surprising answer not 
because of the character of Rambo but 
where Rambo comes from. The parents of 
these children hated America but 
Hollywood has a much greater power than 
the power of President Bush and the 
Pentagon. Young Palestinians may hate the 
US, but American culture is everywhere. 
To return to Iraq: even if the insurgents 
force the Americans to leave the country, 
they have much less chance of winning a 
war against Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts 
and so on, because people can now 
watch satellite TV easily all over Iraq. 
Powerful armies might become less 
important in the 21st century than cultural 
forces. We had examples of this in the last
