You're mixing a lot of stuff up in that analogy that doesn't belong. For example you throw in the dead of WWII in an analogy with Iraq, which wasn't ready for war- and we were talking about crime. The analogy between our "war" with Iraq and WWII is the Nazi Blitzkrieg. It was, in other words, a one sided war. Which is why I said I didn't see the relevance- apples and oranges. When you compare post war Germany, you are comparing a country that had endured a long war IT started, on several fronts, with Iraq, and Germany still didn't break down in to lawlessness....which was my point, along with the other important point that you can't always throw in every analogy you'd like, and Saddam isn't Hitler, and Iraq isn't Germany, and apples aren't oranges........ Iraq is more than messy, compared to anything. And unlike Germany, it didn't start the war, we did.
