Methinks we are agreeing on more than disagreeing. Despite the images, I'd still do the war. The bottom line reason, IMO, was to get rid of a tyrant, who was a threat to the world, more so to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and even more so to his own people. What happens now is going to be a major problem. Those who don't give our government credit for anything and often times I fall into that, have to realize that there are think tanks within each admnistration who have thought out all these scenarios. What is happening there, i.e. that extremely powerful shia muslims would try to grab power (and not for any religious or moral reason) perhaps helped by Iran. I think we have a few solutions in our bag of tricks. It's like when the war "bogged down" or wasn't won in 18 hours. Time will tell. I wouldn't go back to status quo ante. I suspect that the obviously well-staged protests are significant but don't represent the majority of Iraqi citizens, most of whom are probably so frightened by the life they led for the past 25 years that they have no idea whether US is infidels stealing oil or liberators. Time will tell.
