C'mon, it's Belgium! What kind of a resistance can they put up? They'll fold instantly and welcome the U.S. with flowers, excellent beer, and Belgian chocolates, happy to be liberated! What do you think?

As friends you are more than welcome (and we are still thankful for what you did for us in two WWs) and we will welcome you with real food and beer.
Since US people are not very good in history, the Germans in WW1 thought also that they would be welcomed with flowers but after Liège, Antwerp and the Yser, they knew better. The stiff resistance done by the Belgian army scattered their Von Schlieffen plan completly.
Our army can't stop you (though you should have quite some fighting) but after the invasion, we fill have a lot of fun with you (but you not with us ;-)
German reports in the two WW showed a serious respect for the Belgian resistance.
But if you can not even occupy the Iraqis, how should you beat the Belgians ?
Take over the country and enjoy new ways of resistance (Belgians don't suicide themselves, it more fun to give you a very bad feeling than killing you).
Since Julius Caesar we have had a lot of invasions (french, Germans, Spain, Dutch, ...) and still the Belgian spirit exists. Walloons and Flemish quarrel a lot when they have no common enemy, so if you would like to be the one ?
And like some one said, the British won't be amused. Neither won't be the other European countries since Belgium is a member of NATO, Eurokorps, closely cooperates with the Dutch, French, Germans and a lot of other countries. So you would start WWIII at once. Even the Russian Bear could start fighting since they signed at the creation of Belgium a contract to guaranteer the independence of Belgium (together with Germany, France, Austria and GREAT-BRITAIN). And this time all those countries would not fight against each other like in the two other WW's. Have fun.
My advise : Pick something with low risk that you can master like the Galapagos Islands ;-)

come give it a try you will never know what hit you.
We do have more than enough experience with invaders in our history.
Don't forget that Julius Caesar said that the Belgian where the most brave off them all and in the more recent years we did give the invading German troops something to remember( 2 times )
Also when we are invaded we are very inventive in the resistance
Before I forget it between Julius and the Germans there where the vikings, the Teutons, the french a couple of time's, the British, the Spanish and so on.
So an invader more or less isn't a problem for us

If it's for their beer, I vote we invade the Czech Republic! But if it's for a win, maybe Costa Rica - they have no army. Whoops! I forgot - neither does Iraq, and we've been there how long? Okay, let's go for the beer and forget winning.

I think we should just send our corporations over to destroy their culture, freedom, quality of life and environment. If it is good enough for us then everyone else should join the Borg Collective too and glue themselves to the TV and eat poison food from China (or McDonald's) while they fly their made in China American flag.
Or we could stop being so cynical and demand just leaders, a caring domestic and a logical foreign policy. OK, then be cynical and still demand positive change! Even better.

As soon as one American soldier got drunk on Belgium Beer and tripped accidently dying in a horrific beer tripping accident, the libs would quit there also and waive the white flag.

Well, you would lose your most staunch ally: Britain. No matter what this "special relationship" dictates; we would side with Belgium.
