You are not actually going to try to compare WW2 and Iraq are you?

Rhetorical question of course.

[dirtboy]

You left off a key couplet from the original:

Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.

And my point is, critics of the war say democracy cannot be brought to Iraq because they have no history of such. However, there also was no history of democracy in Japan and precious little in Germany. But we managed to establish both because of military action.

But you are correct - there is no comparison between WWII and Iraq. We lost far, far more soldiers in a single battle than we lost in all of the Iraq war.
