I don't think it's a question of having the heart to fight, rather having the heart to slaughter, which is what is really necessary to successfully put down an insurgency and keep it down.

If we decided to pacify Fallujah, we could cut through the insurgents like a sword cutting through daisies, at very little cost to ourselves.

In any case the Iraqi insurgents are doing a half-assed job so far, if they really wanted to hurt us, 100 of them would go on a hunger strike and starve themselves to death.
