<Blowing up the UN wasn't all that bright.> The response has been, several nations are reconsidering plans to send soldiers to Iraq. Japan, others. The fact is, even the U.S. will not continue the Iraq occupation, if the costs get high. My guess is, about 5000 dead (an order of magnitude less than the Vietnam body-bag total) will be enought that America will call it quits. Oh, there will probably be some transparent face-saving "Vietnamization" program to cover our retreat. All the guerrillas have to do, to win, is make the country ungovernable, and make the cost of occupation too high for us.
