The allies won world war 2 because they had the "will to win?"
Please tell me why the Germans and the Japanese LOST? Did they have a failure of will? Did they "quit" when the going got tough?
It's not all about will, esp. when both sides have enormous reserves of will to win, but if either side has a big deficit of will to win in general or in the particular conflict then it can lose even if the other side is superior in numbers, technology, firepower, training, logistics, and/or tactics.
Vietnam was a good example of it being about will. The Vietnamese communists had more will to win the the US did. You apparently think that we will lose in Iraq. I don't, but if we do it won't be from a lack of numbers, technology, firepower, training, logistical capability, or tactical knowledge and ability. It would be because the other side would care about the fight. If they care less then we do about winning they have no chance. If they care the same or more they can still lose because of our other advantages. If they care a lot and we care very little then we can lose.
