What are all of those words supposed to mean?
The War in Iraq has been much longer than WWII, bravo. Try to keep up with current events.
You might invest in a dictionary...
You must be referring to the after war occupation....there is a difference, even you don't understand the two terms and concepts...
After the wars....
US occupied Japan for about 6 years, Germany for about 10 years and Iraq for about 10 years (so far)
Now whats your point ?
