Different. If it had been, say, Nazi Germany or Stalin fighting in the middle east or in South Vietnam, they would have won, if only through "burn every village to the ground" tactics.
Which isn't at all to say we should do that. I'm just saying the Viet Cong, Al-Qaeda in Iraq, and the Taliban understand the moral limitations we have to put up with, and the successes of their strategy are based on exploiting that.
