Great backgound info. you published here. The real problem with all these piss ant countries is they have no 2nd Amendment. Every time we conquer a new country the very first thing we should do is make them pass the 2nd Amendment. Otherwise only the criminals and insurgents will have all the guns.

Except that we do exactly the opposite. In every country we've 'conquered'--temporarily, of course--we've instituted or enforced gun control laws. Iraq is yet another example where this is the case. If we handed out AK-47s and pistols to the general populace of Iraq we'd probably have been better off.
