The German surge worked when the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto rose too, Teribus. To paraphrase what you said, "Additional forces were required, they were supplied and the desired result was obtained." (from the German point of view) So "let's give credit where credit is due", right?

The only question is, who was really the injured party in that circumstance? (obviously the Jews were) Who is the injured party in the invasion and occupation of Iraq? (the people of Iraq are) How you see that, though, for most persons, depends strictly on where their instinctive loyalties lie. Most persons never think beyond their instinctive loyalties which they have inherited through birth and cultural background, and those loyalties are usually based on national identity, party membership, or religion.

All people in a war are "the good guys" from their own point of view, whatever it may be. Depending on how many others involved in the conflict see it their way, they will either win or lose their cause in the end.
