You are nitpicking again. Phyrrus was divided from his native land by a sea...rome was a couple hundred miles north from Apulia (where i was born by the way) where the key battles were fought. But Rome was still a foreign power, not the "indigenous people". If your point is that being close gives you an advantage I'd agree but that wasn't the main advantage Rome has, and it doesn't seem very relevant to the issue of considering the campaign in Iraq to be a series of Pyrrhic victories. If it was a series of Pyrrhic victories we would be taking massive losses. But 21K soldiers are little more than additional 21K confused targets. Nonsense.
