Why not resist the occupation forces by non-cooperation? There seems to be quite a bit of that going on as it is, but if, say 90%, of Iraqis just stopped cooperating with the "coalition authority," how long could the latter stay? They would either have to leave or destroy the whole country (which it seems they are bent on doing as it is).
