about the "their in a warzone and we are going have to be @#$%s and push people around" the australian army is both afghanistan and iraq has made more gains building houses and infrastructure cause their military believes this to be a war that cannot be won militarily and the average peasent or city dweller is going to give a darn about who owns them as long as they have a decent house and living; if you notice terrorism pops up in incredible poor ghetto's in jordan and afghanistan, palestine and pockets of egypt. so being an @#$% and bumping cars in front of you out of the way is going to win hearts, niether is arial bombing or shooting mosques with tanks. this is a war for hearts and minds (sane) happy people do not go out and shoot at a tank. whether you like it or not iraq isn't going to be fixed(face it, it was better under saddam he didn't even come close to killing the hundreds and thousands that have died under the americans) by a military victory its a war of hearts and minds.
