American/British ground troops in Baghdad from then till now and beyond, Kim C? Good idea? If you don't think that's what would have happened, maybe you'd explain what the exit strategy might have been, once Iraq was "conquered". Maybe you think everyone would have shaken hands and gone home.

And are you, and the other warmongers, utterly indifferent to the additional slaughter that would have been involved? Is it being seriously argued, in this forum of all places, that Norman should have told his troops to ignore their scruples and just get on with killing those kids stuck in their trucks and tanks on the traffic-jammed road back to Baghdad? I would have thought we had already stoked up more than enough hatred towards the western powers.

Kevin McGrath, I've not followed the link to the rest of the song yet, but terrific lines in your last post.
