So why do you expect the Iraqi to just abandon their religion of Islam? Their makeup is different then ours. We cannot expect the same from them, We did not expect it from the Germans nor the Japanese.
We did expect it from the Germans or the Japanese. In no way did they continue with Nazism or Tojoism. We imposed our will completely. In Fact, in Japan the emperor offered to resign but we kept him on as a puppet, the whole japanese constitution was written by Americans in ONE week!
But then of course we didn't have a President in those days who considered Nazism and Tojoism ideologies of Peace.

OK Marine. You win the argument, not that I attended to argue, but to share viewpoints. Obviously we have different views as what can be done in the ME verse what was essential to be done back in 1945.
Semper Fi once again and thank you for your service to your country. And I mean that.
