dalem,
because we're no longer living in the late 1700s, and modern-day iraq is not enlightenment-era america. global consequences as a result of gov't failure come a lot faster.
a "whiskey rebellion" with AK-47s, RPGs, IEDs, and VBIEDs won't be so easily crushed by an iraqi george washington (not that he exists that we've seen) with a few thousand militia-men.
