That's an unintended consequence. We were supposed to be greeted as liberators - no or very little resistance after the fall of Saddam was expected.

Two more cents, well maybe four. Iraq was founded by the British and her people had had enough of foreign rule. Why would the US in its arrogance, or ignorance, believe another would be welcome? As much as Saddam was a somewhat cruel leader, it takes one to unite, if that's the word, a country with religious factions perfectly content to murder each other over how to worship the same God. That goes for the whole of the ME in my view. My God is the only true God and you either see it my way or die infidel. Until people can see beyond that concept, it will never end. Now what of the other billions of people that worship Buddha. Are they in need of conversion by death? Why can't we all agree to accept that others may find God in their own way already? And, why are we so arrogant to think the almighty omnipotent one needs any help?

By the way, I'm not a Buddist. Sheesh, I can't even spell it.:rotfl:
