Mark Moyar is a military historian who (as of 2006) serves as associate professor at the United States Marine Corps University. He is the author of "Triumph Forsaken: The Vietnam War, 1954-1965."
He has also written about the Iraqi War. In one op-ed in the New York Times, Professor Moyar avoided any discussion of Islam and compared the Iraq situation to the Vietnam conflict, despite the very different ideologies involved. Moyar concluded that an attempt at democracy in Iraq was desirable immediately in 2006 at nearly any cost:[1]
- The United States may ultimately find that no Iraqi leader can neutralize both the insurgents and the militias. The benefits of a self-sufficient Iraqi government are so great, however, that we must give [Iraq Prime Minister] Mr. Maliki the opportunity to try.
