<We expected all Iraqis to greet us as liberators, but it was only the Shiites and Kurds.. and the Shiites only for the time it took them to advance their own agenda to control and dominate Iraq, who did so. We certainly weren't greeted as strongly as liberators by the Sunnis, who were the primary supporters, and benefactors, of Saddam's regime. They just wanted Saddam gone, and another Sunni dominated government to take his place.

Saddam ruled Iraq with an iron fist, playing ethnicities and family clans off against one another. This has left decades of long-standing feuds and ethnic distrust which will take years to diffuse and moderate.>
