Doesn't the fact that Iraq is a hotbed of terrorists with outside sabatuers and and financing pouring in from Iran and Syria, not to mention the fact that the country itself is made up of several ethnic and religious groups with core value differences from America, make this is situation quite a bit different than postwar Germany or Japan? The German people were happy to recieve us because they were tired of getting the crap beat out of them by us and the Russians. Japan might have been more like Iraq is now, except we nuked them and totally broke their spirit along with any idea of resistance to occupation. We may have stung the Baathists out of power in Iraq, but we never did Shock and Awe the populace, who is pretty apatheic about fighting for freedom.
