You can fight an army but you can't fight a population.It's a basic rule of war.If the population is willing to fight then you are going to lose.No army has ever won a partisan war.Look at history...
The French in Spain.
The Germans in Russia.
The Americans in Viet Nam.
The Russians in Afghanistan.
In all these cases the armies have been fatally harassed behind the lines,weakening their abillity to fight an enemy that should be easilly beaten.
If the Iraqie people want rid of Saddam then we will win.If not,i'm not very confident on the outcome
