51. A foreign occupation of an invaded people will dehumanize both sides

The occupiers will view the occupied as the enemy that must be destroyed. The occupied will view the occupier as the evil that must be erradicated at any cost.

The longer the US remains in Iraq the more we will become like the IDF in Gaza, or France in Algeria.

The Iraqis that collaborate with the US will get a taste of what happened to those that collaborated with foreign occupying powers in the past.
