...or to put it in cinematic terms, invading Iraq may much more closely resemble Black Hawk Down than Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers....<NG>

OTOH, one can certainly carry the Stalingrad analogy too far...by 1942, the Russian civilians and army were totally and completely behind the war effort (out of fear of the Germans and news of their extreme treatment of civillians in the Ukraine and Byellorussia in 1941, if nothing else). It remains to be seen how committed the Iraqi's will be (having dealt with the not-so-gentle hand of Saddam's leadership for the last 20 years.)
