Shiite, if you look at the Hitler…..errrr..History channel it is still not clear we will EVER beat the unstoppable German military machine! 
So I am willing to wait more than a year to see if the job in Iraq can be completed. Seems to me the greatest enemies are Westerners, not Iraqi's who mostly want peace.

Maybe you can chalk this up to my lack of historic expertise, but i don't remember ever hearing about suicide bombers in post ww2 germany or japan, i never heard about the time that the u.s. attempted to broker a deal with a former general in the axis military to create peace in a certain hamlet of resistance. Clearly it is not as cut and dry as "Well, it totally worked in germany and japan".
