One unfortunate aspect of armoring HMMVVs & trucks is that no truck can be armored enough to prevent it being destroyed by 200 lbs of plastic explosive being set off under or next too it. That much will flip a tank over.

EXACTLY!
But, I tell you what will reduce these mines being placed. If everytime a convoy is attacked by mines or suicide bombers, 10 times the damage is inflicted on Syria, by some random righteous act of serious violence - you watch how the Syrians start to close their border down and start to exert some calming guidance over the Sunni. Same goes for the Irainians.
But instead the Bush White House continues to encourage our enemies by allowing them unmolested sanctuaries in Iran and Syria. WHY?
Hell, at least, even LBJ and Nixon bombed Cambodia and Laos.
