In my humble opinion, the terror network, that's threatening the western, modern world, does span the entire fuckin' globe, and is not just resident in Iraq, Syria and Iran... do you think the recent attacks in Madrid were made by extremist Arabs who took a plane there? Of course not. Those tentacles of the big terror octopus are spread everywhere. Do we know who the supporters are? Hussein was allegedly one of the financial supporters of Al-Quaeda and the 9-11 attacks. Ever been proven? Don't think so.
And fighting the guerilla war on Iraqi turf, where those lunatic fuckers use their own people as human shields or hide in mosques... there is nothing you can do about it. Do you think they will follow international war conventions? They will wipe their tan asses with 'em. The USA however, being the most powerful nation in the world (although not the biggest economical power anymore, the EU is) must follow those rules to at least some extent.
Mark my words, this war will have more shocking consequences, because the fire that burns this conflict is getting hotter and hotter, and the US can't do shit about it other than just pour more money, blood and fuel into it.

Completely agreed. This is a global problem that is going to take the support of a global community. We haven't seen the last of this bullshit. At some point regrettably we're all going to see a breaking point of epic proportions. This is the next "crusades". Religion and belief vs. Religion and belief. That's the only reason I referenced Japan. The US had thrown so much "blood, money, and fuel" into defending from Japan that there was one horrible alternative.
We're dealing with combatants that have no respect for conventional warfare.
