They have to expect this -In these days of internet and satellite news the statement by Kofi Annan that ’’this war is illegal’’ will be seen by many -especially Iraqis as a green light to evict the unlawful invaders. They will also be inflamed by the hypocrisy of the USA, on the one hand citing the Americas’ use of force on Iraq for ’’not complying’’ with UN resolutions, and then totally ignoring the illegality of the occupation. Although the USA had magnaminous firepower in Vietnam, it was the SPIRIT of the Vietnamese people that won through. People often cite the jungle terrain, and that Iraq is an easier battlefield. In Vietnam it was 12-13 year old girls whose whole family had been napalmed, given Kalishnikovs, who sought to kill as many invaders as possible with no regard to their own safety. It is this spirit that will defeat the USA again.
