Iran is twice the population size of Iraq:

66,094,26 Iran

26,783,383 Iraq

And you think we will be able to bomb them with more "shock and awe" and just "stay the course"?

Here is the other problem, males that are of military age:

15-64 years ................ 52% .............. male 17,326,388

We are still fighting Iraq's Republican Guard which was about 100,000. and the Saddam Fedhyeen some 20,000.

Get real.
