Iraq, Occupation and America
How would we feel here in the good old U.S. of A. if we had just gone through a period of 40 years with a horrible dictator? Another country, like China, invaded to get rid of him, citing national security, which proved to be completely bogus. China installed a new government and left 2.8 million troops in our grand country (the U.S. is approximately 20 times bigger than Iraq) to "maintain order". We spent a number of years watching the Chinese march around, drive huge tanks in and around our cities and generally treat us like dirt. During 3 years that the Chinese tried to secure the country more than 350,000 Americans died (the U.S. population is 11.5 times larger than Iraq). In addition, many Americans doubted Chinese motives, thinking they desired our natural resources and access to our technology. Would we be happy campers? Would we want the Chinese to leave? Would many of us choose to fight?

Well Chip the second half of this is very misleading because of the first line that many would overlook. The good old U.S. of A. wouldn't be, if it had been under the opressive rule of a horrible dictator for the last 40 years. I for one would of been fighting against that rule so as not to need china's intervention into an unstable situation.
