Are the comparisons between the Philippine–American War and the Iraq War fair?

Unfortunately, the only way to answer this would be to also discuss events after 1994 which isn't allowed on this subreddit.

However, the Philippine-American War was a successful but very brutal counterinsurgency war. Any comparisons with the Iraq War is rather difficult to make at the moment due to the fact that the conflicts are very different from each other (besides the fact that counterinsurgency was used to combat insurgents in both). If you have any specific questions, you are free to ask!
