But every example of a large nation that was beaten and then occupied by a foreign foe as a result of a short and unbloody war (like you claim that WW2 in 1936 would have been) is that a long and bloody guerilla war arises. Every single example. Carl, what about Britain and India? True, eventually GB left, but it took quite awhile.

Prime Minister Blair Busted: Scandal Erupts Over Lies About Iraqi Weapons By Luke Harding The Observer (United Kingdom) observer.guardian.co.uk Posted 12/28/2003 10:31:00 AM Tony Blair was at the centre of an embarrassing row last night after the most senior US official in Baghdad bluntly rejected the Prime Minister's assertion that secret weapons laboratories had been discovered in Iraq. In a Christmas message to British troops, Blair claimed there was 'massive evidence of a huge system of clandestine laboratories'. The Iraq Survey Group (ISG) had unearthed compelling evidence that showed Saddam Hussein had attempted to 'conceal weapons', the Prime Minister said. But in an interview yesterday, Paul Bremer, the Bush administration's top official in Baghdad, flatly dismissed the claim as untrue - without realising its source was Blair.
