We've been in Germany and Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50.

And so your point is that if Iraq becomes as successful as Germany, Japan and South Korea it will all have been a failure? You're not making sense. If Iraq becomes as good as the examples you provide the world should pay the US to keep troops in Iraq.

Why pretend to not understand my post and then make the same point I did?

Good grief...didn't you ever get taught not to argue with someone whom you agree with? :-)
