Yeah right. With that track record, in comes US believing that with a swift blow, they will somehow miraculesly manage to acomplish it. Do you honestly believe that yourself? I would say that very, very seldom has anyone managed to force some people, region or country to change into some different direction, governement and so on. Especially when the invading force is one that is in general not liked by the ones geting invaded. Like it or not, but most people in Iraq and other parts of Middle east does not like US so they will hardly welcome being first invaded then ruled (even if temporary). Sure, some might take advantage of it as much as possible but that is hardly the same thing. My own believe is that it will actually be worse in the region. But hey, if US believes starting a war will end all future wars, be my guest, just don't get surprised when it doesn't work.

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
