Not analogous. It is a gross oversimplification to compare the defeated
Axis powers with Iraq.

That would be half the world outside the US.

You're just making stuff up, now.

but in Germany there was.

Nothing significant or persistent;

Correct, many went to the eastern bloc and rasied hell from the
other side of the Iron Curtain.

Whom are you talking about, SS fanatics? Raised hell? Are you trying to
say they (whoever "they" are) supported guerilla warfare in West Germany
to overthrow the government?

Not guerilla warfare, but guess who was behind groups like Badder-Meinhof,
and others all over the world.

certainly not as much as there still
is in Afghanistan.

Did we wage war in Afghanistan in the same manner we did in WW2?

Mmm, let's see: we dropped a bunch of ordnance on the bad guys and then
invaded, so I guess the answer would be "yes."

Limited vs total war. Now YOU'RE making stuff up (or spinning).


In Iraq, the Iraqi's will have take on the opposition.

Indeed. But Iraqis ARE the opposition, too, with the help
of all sorts of foreign scoundrels that have flocked to Iraq
since the war.

Nice lumping them all together. I thought that's what conservatives
are supposed to do?

What? You're the one that lumped them all together. I pointed out that
there are Iraqis on both sides. And what does "I thought that's what
conservatives are supposed to do?" mean?

You said, and I quote "But Iraqis ARE the opposition, too, with the help
of all sorts of foreign scoundrels that have flocked to Iraq
since the war." Sounds like your lumping ALL Iraqi's together (or did you
snip too much?).

I see our present situation more like South Korea from 1953 onward.
