The troops in WWII didn't have to shoot because our grandparents was amazed to see airplanes and huge ships
True, Iraq could probably be a very "westernized" middle-eastern country. But in the long run the Iraqis will be fed up with the puppets in charge and then the hatred will turn on us, the western world. I'm afraid you are right, this will be much more bloody than it already is.
