We have no idea what Iraq will be like in another 5 years...which is about how long it took for Germany to "settle down" from what I read.

The facts on the ground in postwar Iraq and postwar Germany are as different as night and day. At most, only a handful Americans (that is less than thirty total) died from potshots of so-called German "insurgents." The comparison doesn't hold water but that doesn't prevent people here from making it!
