Sooner or later an occupying foreign power will leave, but later can be a long time later, as it was in the case of Gandhi's India. The UK controlled India for quite some time. Gandhi just came along at the end of that period.

For the heck of it, do you remember what followed the departure of the british?

In India you had a foreign occupation by a colonial power. The colonial power goes through the cost of a major world war, and not long after that decides that the occupation doesn't provide a net benefit.

What do you think is different in iraq for the US, or let's be more specific, in the Middle East?

In Vietnam you had two nations, one of which was attacked by the other. We helped out the country that was attacked.

Two nations? Which two nations?
