Really, for that, considering that they are a completely different culture, and not one that has the quirk of Japan's Emperor, I wouldn't be surprised if it required several million Americans to translocate...and at the end it'd be a colony. Germany at least had the tradition of gentleman's agreements with war and accepting defeat, and no external sponsor nations.
Really, a better step would probably be to just get it over and invade Iran, and perhaps Syria.
Well we can agree that we disagree on what the best tactic would have been in Iraq, however, we are in total agreement about moving on to Iran. Syria will fall in place once we have destroyed Iran (by that I mean kill every last Mullah and their staunchest supporters). We should not worry about world condemnation nor should we concern oursleves about innocent Iranian deaths, because those deaths will be the fault of the Mullahs, not America's. But that must be our plan, destroy Iran, not go in trying to make friends. In my opinion what we did in Iraq has cost more American servicemen/women lives than going in as conquers. If you are going to ask your countries young men and women to do battle then let them do battle. As for the expenses, we could have repaid ourselves with their oil, and we can repay ourselves with Iranian oil for that excursion.
