The Soviets were not fighting for Stalin, but rather against the Germans.
This whole thing hinges on how the Iraqi people will react. If they are of the mindset that the Americans are Zionist aggressors then this could be a touchy thing. If they all want to join the Mc Pepsi generation then this will only last a few days.
A big concern is if the Iraqi's will begin to get moral support and aid through Syria and Iran. I think that watching this pounding on TV is going to move a lot of Arabs to outrage. The US will have to
win before this becomes a factor.
Comparisons to Stalingrad are irrelevant...the USSR was the more powerful nation and probably would have beat the Germans eventually in any event.
