Nope.  After Saddam, Syria - which *also* has weapons of mass destruction
and which *also* has used them (specifically poison gas) on its own people
and which *also* has invaded (and continues to occupy for probably a
quarter century) a neighboring country - Lebanon.  And, of course, Syria is
a hotbed of terrorist training camps and has been for longer than Saddam's
been in power.

After Syria, most likely Iran.  But that isn't tank country, so maybe not.

And in any case, the occupation is likely to be for closer to a century
than to two years.
