Walk on water, step over enemies

US troops kill 75 insurgents in Iraq;

The US military said today it killed 75 insurgents in a new offensive in western Iraq, striking back after guerrilla attacks killed 10 American troops, two US civilians and dozens of Iraqis at the weekend.

How much longer will the U.S. continue? Another 2 years? 5 years? Soon you will have a generation of Iraqis who will know little else but a homeland under foreign occupation.

Will they be less likely to resist or more?

The plan is to have permanent U.S. military bases. That should settle things down a bit.
