"Is the US willing to keep troops in Iraq for as long as we have spent in Korea? I suspect that US troops woul;d be a lot more unpopular in Iraq than they have been in Korea, because of the different social structure. "
It is my leaRning that many Iraqi's are afraiD to admit support for America. Does anyone know this to be tRue? Either way it sounds as if you are saying we would be engaGing in nation building. This may well be the need and a heaftY task at that.

It is well known that the US trained and funded Iraq through the '80's. Iraqis fear Saddam, but western culture is almost as evil. If/when we depose Saddam, a new government needs to be put in place. There is a reason Bush Sr. stopped at Baghdad's door. This is a huge undertaking. There is no real threat right now coming from Iraq. I think the threat is coming moreso from North Korea. I'm just hoping that this conflict can be delayed until the next election when Bush is NOT reelected. I am not oppesed to war like most of the love not war fanatics out there, but only when it is justified. War would bolster our economy. I just don't think Iraq is a justified target. Plus, has anyone even listened to Bush talk? My god, that man is a moron. I'm glad I didn't go to Yale, it would have been a waste of money.
