Uncle Billy would have pacified Iraq good and proper.Maybe, not sure. What he did worked to starve an army but an insurgency might be something different entirely. There was some anti-terrorist battles fought during reconstruction though that were pretty interesting.

Actually, I think it wouldn't. The march to the sea might've killed a lot of civilians, but it was the destruction of industry that the South couldn't afford to lose that decimated the South's ability to fight. Problem is that terrorists don't rely on industry to supply their 'war machine'.
