Nope.. In a poll conducted by CNN.. when asked how many casualties do you expect in this war.. Over 80% of the respondents answered between 100-300 (which is approx. 1 in 1500 who are serving, which is exactly the percentage of men we lost during the gulf war)..
It seems the average American didnt realize that to topple a dictatorship, its gonna take more than dropping a few bombs in their cities, and have forgotten the number of casualties can be sustained in hand to hand combat..
How easily we forget..

YZ, I don't know if the general population is prepared for it, but the leaders almost certainly are.
