Do tell me, how many countries have you invaded and won in the last 30 years that were not Panama [ sorry Poland could have won that 1 ] , Iraq [ Umm 10 years of sanctions, bombings and already beat up army from the Desert Storm .. oo so powerful ] , Afghanistan [ mean yes, but you killed splitered cells, still deadly and way more screwed up in terms on war ... not like fighting a country more like armed sheep herders ] . ? Do tell. My point is, yes you can invade, attack. But overall I think if you tried to occupy any foriegn country, say even like Syria's stregth you would get a good fight, losta death, and well when you occupied for long time, many deaths. Iraq has at least a certain amount of people who want the US in there, try a country that has 0%.
