You know...I seem to remember some "pinhead opining" about Iraq not being the cakewalk that the neo-cons were predicting.

In that case the "pinheads" were right.

As far as voting turnout...everyone expected the Shia and Kurds to vote heavily and they did. The Sunni turnout was less than outstanding.

As far as a bloodbath...I think the idea of letting NO VEHICLES on the road might have been the answer to that potentiality. If they can just keep up that total ban on ALL vehicles, Iraq may never have to worry about insurgents again.
