The main difference I see between the Russian/Afghanistan war and our current situation is that our forces aren't being confronted by a force that is trained by an opposing superpower.
If a developed nation steps in to aid Iraq resistance (as we did in the Afghanistan war), we will likely have serious problems. Currently, however, we will keep engaging in relatively minor skirmishes until the public gets tired of persistent deaths--or forgets (a la Afghanistan).
