The only comment I would offer is the overwhelming tendency for ideologues to assume that their plans will always turn out well. The fact the main neocons behind this plan mostly had zero Middle East experience on the ground just compounded a Washington habit of deciding in advance that everything must work just right, because it's part of the righteous crusade the ideologues came to town to carry out. A metaphor would be some rich guy who buys the best gear in the world to cross the Sahara, doesn't bother to bring along a guide then can't believe it when he's trapped in the middle of nowhere with no way out, after his fancy plan broke down.
