The Neocon hawks' inability to see any Iraqi who is not smiling or tossing flowers has been partly to blame for leading us into the morass in which we now find ourselves.

Whoa, there. Did I ever say that just because Iraqis are glad to be rid of Saddam, they are all thrilled to be occupied by the Americans? I did not. Kindly do not put words in my mouth. There are plenty of other problems with the occupation that will have to be dealth with one way or another.

But everybody your articles are quoting as wanting Saddam back lives in the "Sunni Triangle", Saddam's homeland - Faluja, Tikrit, etc. These are his tribemen. These are the beneficiaries of the former regime. Go ask the other 90% of the Iraqis if they want Saddam back, you'll get a very different answer.
