      I do not agree that their is any organized "guerrilla" resistance...though some have called it "guerilla" type resistance.
      Those fighting a much larger army long ago worked out that having unrelated, and therefore, unorganised 'cells' was a better way to fight. That is due to improved strategy, not any implication of size or effectiveness. I agree tho, it's going to take the Iraqis a few months to really learn how to kill occupying army members effectively, and hence *seem* more organised.

      We will engage them as long as this type of resistance continues...which I suspect will be for a generation or two...or until the American people take to the streets...as they did during the Vietnam era.
      Or until the drain of money gets too much for your government to stand. This is an expensive war at the moment, and it could get worse.

      Or, possibly, until Bush is out. It wouldn't surprize me if some leader other than Bush attempted some kind of face-saving pull-out. This is so Bush's war.

      I suspect that NATO forces will eventually be deployed. UN Peacekeepers are not needed at this point.
      I doubt that, France, Germany etc are also members of NATO with all that that implies and politically NATO would be almost as unacceptable to some in the ME as the U.S.

        France is not a member of NATO...unless they have rejoined NATO again...they withdrew many, many years ago.

            Q: What are the official languages of NATO?

            A: The two official languages of NATO are English and French.

            and as a general answer of Nato possible invoilment:

            Q: What is NATO?s position on Iraq?

            A: The campaign against Iraq in 2003 was conducted by a coalition of forces from different countries, some of which were NATO member countries and some were not. NATO as an organisation had no role in the campaign but undertook a number of measures in accordance with Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty, to ensure the security of one of its members, Turkey, in the event of a threat to it resulting from the war in Iraq.

            On 21 May 2003, the Alliance agreed to support Poland, a member of NATO, in its leadership of a sector in the stabilization force in Iraq. NATO will not have any permanent presence in Iraq, but will aid Poland in a variety of supporting roles. This will include help with force generation, communication, logistics and movements.

                          The US and EU do alot of trade and we can't have one going down without causing major financial problems in the world.
