The "three day war" thing kinda reminds me of this.

There are similarities. But, fact is, Iraq is rather more under U.S. control now, than it was before, isn't it?

Probably the capital, I guess? I don't know enough about the situation over there to give an informed answer. Anyhow, I'm not disputing what you wrote. The Mission Accomplished thing is just to say that if people in the West are calling the "3 days" thing a failure, they're living in a glass house.

You understand my point, then. I'm an American, but, obviously, America is in no position to accuse the Russians of being incompetent or undemocratic these days, are they?
