Turn the hogs loose..
They would clean up the mess -- and void the corpse's ticket to paradise..

Congratulations. You've just trained your vanquished to respect governments which refuse to acknowledge the people being ruled. So exactly what is the goal of the US in Iraq, if not to bring them to our will? Seems your method of governance merely condones the behavior of Baathists, but in US uniform. Relish your victory. Live in the bed you've made.

Just for you, river vermin, and fits Imperialist too, I guess, a quote from that great "American" (ha!), Albert Einstein:

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action!
It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
