John Edwards most likely doesn't read my blog. Just in case, I thought I would try to help him understand the differences between the two invasions he mentioned yesterday.

	Bay of Pigs - 1961	Iraq - 2003
Dictators Overthrown	0	1
Population Liberated	0	25,374,691
Population Still Oppressed	7,134,000 (1961) 11,308,764 (2004)	0
Territory Liberated	0 km2	437,000 km2
Terriroty Still Untaken	110,860 km2	0 km2
UN Resolutions Violated	0	17
Unilateral Action	Yes	No
Nations Involved	1	35

I'm sure I missed some key differences. If you notice any, point them out in the comments and I will add them to the table.
