Germany and Tokyo are different. We defeated the people themselves, not the leaders. There was no one left to oppose. If your willing to kill half the population of Iraq in order to ensure a complete surrender then that is another route to pursue, but I don't think it's worth the effort.

The rest of the world knew that by not invading they were committing a sin of ommision. Anyone he killed would be a result of people letting him do this. They were ok with that because the alternative was worse, we should be too.

They deserve him. If they really don't want him back they shouldn't be giving us a hard time. If the majority really don't support the insurgents they should be actively helping Americans hunt them down. The Iraqi people are as responsible for teh insurgency as the insurgents themselves.
