Step 1: Launch massive, multi-media ad campaign aimed at convincing the 
populace that yes, they really do want to be liberated.

Step 2: Chocolates.  Chocolates, cigarettes and nylons.  It always

"I am heartened by the maps that show where our troops are located - if 
the pictures are indeed drawn to scale, we have three soldiers on the 
ground, and each is about 135 miles tall; they have at their disposal 
four tanks, each of which is the size of Rhode Island." -- James Lileks
