I've got an original idea for ya. Go invade Russia again and see how it works out for you.
The question is who acted like Napoleon? (... ok - I have to apologize to the french people here for comparing something like Bush with an historic important person like Napoleon
)
Napoleon invaded Russia and was able to win military battles and to capture Moscow but not the peace after these military victories.
So finally all these victories were useless.
He lost the political battle.
The same is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan - where after the official "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"-gag of the great hero Bush the fightings are still going on.
The puppet regimes of Karsai and Allawi have no real power over "their" countries.
So - after these are the results in battered and small countries like Iraq or Afghanistan - do you really want the same szenario in a much larger country like Iran with its 60 million people?
Its easy to start a war - and also to win military battles with all the material the USA has.
But to start a war without thinking what will happen after the victory is extremely stupid.
Q.e.d. by Bush in Iraq and Afghanistan.
