Why don't you come back and ask me that question after the U.S. bombs the ten largest cities in Iraq to the ground and kills several million people in the process.

Occupying a nation that has faced an overwhelming military defeat is a lot different than sending a glorified version of the Peace Corps to maintain law and order in a Third World sh!t-hole.

150,000 men is hardly a peace corps contingent. The Russians, of course, had a much larger force in Afghanistan with less result that we have in that country, and still have not pacified Czechen despite a much higher butcher's bill than we have paid.
