I'm sure they had malice. And no doubt they giggled about the profiteering. But I also think they had the hubris to believe they could change the ME- or at least a good portion of them did. There's always a cynic or two in with the flocks of faithful- whether in St Peters or in the Shrub's white house- but in the main, I think they were a lot like the rubes on SI- wishfully, gleefully thinking they'd get to bring democracy to the ME and show everyone how it's done- until they screwed the pooch, and then had to try to start figuring out how to blame the shitstorm they caused on someone else.
