The situation in Iraq remind me of my experience after I returned home from Nam. I was working side by side with a former major in the ARVN's. I asked him how many enemy he killed during the war, his reply was "none, why would I want to kill my countrymen?"
Democracy has to be wanted bad enough to kill for by the indiginous people, or it is a lost cause trying to win it for them.

No one objects to being freed from a brutal tyranny. When we invaded Italy, the soldiers cut and ran, or surrendered, only the embedded German divisions put up a fight, and the people greeted us as liberators. Far from rallying around Mussolini, like good Nationalists, they ended up hanging him by his ankles in the middle of Milan.

You have your examples, I have mine.......
