In Korea, Email Is Only For Old People

    Honestly getting beat by the US worked out pretty damn good for Japan and West Germany, theres no reason it can't do the same for Iraq.

    Hmm? I think there's quite a few.

    Iraq is tribal as fook. Japan and Germany weren't at the time. Iraq is as likely to be the next Yugoslavia as opposed to the next post-war Japan or Germany.

    Japan and Germany didn't have the second largest oil reserves after WWII. Not that oil is necessarily the reason why Bush invaded Iraq, but a great many Iraqis see it that way.

    Speaking of resentment: Bush was still saying that "torture and rape rooms" were a thing of the past even after the Abu Garib scandle broke. Whoops.

    The general tendency of the Bush administration to screw up anything they get their hands on.
