This is, of course, exactly right. I don't expect an Iraq war to have many American casualties, and I wouldn't wish it to either. Though I don't expect occupation and reconstruction to be an easy job, I wouldn't wish for difficulties there. I might wish for some realism, though. I can even see a modest silver lining. Once the magnitude of the task becomes clear I imagine that the loose talk about the next set of wars on the drawing board will be quelled for a while. Or maybe all the Iraqi "Arab Minds" will have an instant conversion to rational western thought, and it won't be hard at all. I somewhat doubt that last one, though.
