I am all for democracy in Iraq. The only problem is that we need twice as many American troops there (if not more), a willingness to aggressively disarm the population and disband the rising mullah militias, and the willingness to stick it out for years on end at a cost of a hundred billion a year (that's just the military cost). What are the chances US politicians will do this?

It interests me that the distinction between a liberated nation and a defeated nation is so visibly missing from these comparisons between Iraq and Japan. Is that another one of those things we aren't talking about any more?
