Hi LindyBill; Re: "Of course the Iraqis will pay for it."

Do you have an example of another country that the US invaded and then made pay for the war that defeated them? This sounds like the kind of thing that "Old Europe" would have tried back in the bad old days.

I doubt that Iraq could pay for it anyway. They can barely pay for their own military, and ours has much more expensive equipment as well as many times higher salaries.
