I don't know the situation on the ground in Iraq. It does seem to me that if a foreign nation occupied the United States there would be the tendency for any quislings aiding the occupation force to be hated. There would also be the tendency for forces to two face the occupation forces and throw in with people as insurgents against the occupation forces. Allawi is talking of activating the Iraqi army. I don't think we can trust most of them. An occupation army cannot depend on native mercenaries for support. I can never recall a situation in history when native troops helped occupation forces subjucate their own people, except under the duress of superior occupation forces.
