Well you are right on that point, Iraq will continue to struggle after this war.
But come on, we can't compare Iraq and Germany. In the 1930', Germany was
(and still is) already a powerfull industrial nation, one of the biggest in
Europe. Iraq is starving to death, people are poor, industries are so far
behind in technology! And furthermore, they have what? 6-7 Millions of
people? Germany was always one of the biggest countries in Europe.
Iraq was armed by USA. Not Germany.
Iraq's "tyran" was put there by the USA's administration, not Hitler.
And the allies didn't kill many German citizens in the second WW. Well, not
as much as they will kill Iraqi citizen in the upcoming war, since US troops
will only go were the bombs have destroyed and kill everything first...
Like in 1992.
That's modern war. War is always sad. Especially since this one is pointless.
