Hi Steeny; Re: "... I was sold on this war partly because I believed the Iraqi people wanted to be free of Hussein."

In addition, you were sold this war on the basis of its being quick and cheap, both in dollars and lives. I suggest you read this link to get an idea of what it's like to try and capture an Arab capital:

globalsecurity.org

When you read the above, be sure to compare and contrast the differences between that situation and the present one. You will find that all of them are to our disadvantage, and that it is likely that our siege will be more expensive.
