When the US invaded Iraq, did they take everything? Is that how war works?

Usually the victor chooses a new government for the land and the peasants that surrendered without fighting keep their homes, as long as they submit to the new government and pay their taxes. Those that resist the new government are rounded up.

As Jesus said, those that live by the sword shall die by the sword.
