I haven't noticed us conquering anyone in Iraq. Not unless you count Saddam Hussein and his sons -- wow, three people! -- and the Iraqi army, who ran with the wind and then reformed as insurgents. If we have conquered them, why are American soldiers still there and still getting killed three years later?
