No, a better analogy would be, a burglar comes in, holds you hostage, and then a bunch of planes fly over from China and bomb the heck out of your entire neighborhood killing your family and half of your neighbors and leaving the neighborhood destroyed and then all the crack dealers move in and start a gang war. But the burglars are dead. Would you be grateful to China?

- I'd be very grateful to China if they parachuted in an English teacher and taught you what an 'analogy' is! "killing your family and half of your neighbors"?. Are you under the impression that half of the Iraqi population, or anything close to it, has been 'wiped out' by coalition forces? If so where is your evidence to support it? If not, your 'analogy' simply falls apart! More accurate to say that the neighbourhood got shot up in the resulting police shootout with the burglar and that the looters went crazy and started a race riot claiming that the police were racist for shooting the burglar as a pretext for some compensation from the government!
