Who is on the "other side", and how many fighters do they have?


They didn't send me their roster, and Junior's team wants as little information to come out of Iraq as possible. It seems there are at least 15 to 20 thousand troops actively fighting with a few million supporters of varying degrees.

If the "other side" wins this war, who loses?
Halliburton.
Cheney will not be able to steal the Iraqi oil.

Has Northern Ireland been at "war" for its ENTIRE existence?
There has been two wars in Northern Ireland, maybe three. The invasion of Oliver's army, and subsequent new conflicts over unresolved issues from the first war.

as in WW1, WW2, Korean war, Vietnam war, Iraq-Iran war, England-Falklands war, etc. etc.)
It is a war, certainly in the same terms as Vietnam and the Spanish-American War.

If Iraq has ~22 million people, which side of the "war" are most of them supporting?

Most are supporting the side of Iran.

The big difference between this war and previous American wars is that Junior and the neocons lost this war within 3 months. It was lost before that first attempted assasination bombing of Saddam. It has taken a couple of years for the neocons to realize it, but that is because they are so inattentive to information. It was a faith based attack and not a fact based one.
