I wonder what the US and allied occupation forces did with all the captured Nazi soldiers that killed allies during WWII? I'm not talking about leadership here just the average guy that used a gun.
Sent them back to Deutschland in one piece, where they seemed to have behaved themselves.
If the U.S. and Iraqi gov't. could get the Sunni-Arab Anti Gov't forces to agree to a general surrender, the U.S. and allies claim victory in Iraq, and have just bitched-slapped all the anti-Bush/anti-war clods for the next 10 years.
The average anti-gov. Sunni, who was probably in the Iraqi army before the war, gets to go home and behave. At that point, most of the population would be willing to cooperate with the local Iraqi police if they know of any trouble. Even Iraqi's know when the game is up.
