Ironic, isn't it?
And...President Bush knows that...and I think that plays into his long term vision for Iraq...
We were REALLY hard on both of those countries in WW11...but, we also stuck with them through starting up new governments...and became their allies.
I am sure that is the way that President Bush wants Iraq to end up...being an ally after defeating the totalitarian government.
