I could be wrong, but I don't think that groups of Nazis were killing hundreds of US and British troops (and thousands of Germans who were trying to rebuild the country) for years after the surrender.
And as for that question of "why should we . . ." the leader that you seem to think is doing such a great job told us that the Iraqis would be laying rose petals at our feet. The administration ignored the experts who told them that reconstruction would be a long, arduous process. Some of them are still saying that the worst is over.
