USA should have Saddaam 2.0 ready to take over.
All top military and tribal people should have been bribed to go along. Democracy is hard and USA can't do it everywhere. Not that democracy yields great results everywhere. In a lot of countries it's two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner.

- onetimemanytime 8y ago>>changing both the culture and the machinery of government before we left If we invaded then for a 100 years, maybe.
- jopsen 8y agoThe culture in Japan and Germany is very different... And the war that was fought was more even. Did the US every win in Iraq or did most of the Iraqies refuse to fight? Note. I not suggesting war is ever a solution to anything :)
