Well, to me, we did not go to war with the Iraqi people. We went to war with terrorism as personafied by Sadaam Hussein and the Ba'ath leadership. Flying the flag is the sign of the conqueror.
The idea here is that the Iraqi people govern themselves and throw out the terrorists. If we are the conquerors, we will have to stay and resolve all their problems and rule them.
This isn't the old style of war anymore. We shouldn't be looking to conquer nations and spend 50 years there like we did in Japan and Germany. We go in, shoot the bad people in the face, and go after them when they move on somewhere else. New kind of war for some.
I understand about the morale and that.
