[quote="Cpl. Eames":6e5c5]Didn't the romans, the mongols, and every other offensive army in history that had to occupy hostile enemy territory resort to reprisals to disuade partisan activity??! Since we didn't wage a total war against Iraq and dont have the numbers to effictivly police and occupy the entire country only through the use of informants, colaborators, reprisals, and other fear tactics can u disuade the enemy from partisan activity.[/quote:6e5c5]

The mongols also ate horses and didn't use forks,
I think we're a little more civilized... well most of us are anyways
The mongols and romans didn't claim to have the moral high ground either, they just invaded and took what they wanted. I'd like to think that my country is not a criminal agressor like the mongols but a liberator and peacekeeper.
