I meant "however long it may take". It's not a must for people to die, in order for Iraqis to fulfil the requirement "however long it may take".

Even if you didn't mean it that way, that's the way it would likely happen... based on past actions by various parties.

Also, America would not be the great nation it is today, if its men and women had not fought for their freedom from the shackles of British imperialism. As you seem to be claiming to speak from the humanitarian perspective, would it have been more humanitarian for the Americans to be ruled and bled economically and otherwise by the British, or was it more humanitarian for them to have fought for their freedom and become a free people governing themselves?

Americans weren't being bled economically by the British back then, the whole escalation of the revolution was a combination of misunderstandings and sensationalism. (despite what movies like The Patriot will have you believe). But that's really a separate issue, it has nothing to do with what's going on in Iraq right now.
