yeah, occupation is child's play, particularly when you've all but flattened the country, a la Germany and Japan post WWII.
Otherwise, any reasonable person would foresee the potential for problems.
What really must gall someone are these so-called 'philanthropic wars.' Once the WMD were determined to be nonexistent, we justified our presence as humanitarian invaders.
In retrospect, I suppose, it's easy to see the incongruity.
