> to predict that the Iraqis will regret being free seems to be taking a pretty dim view of human nature

I never predicted that. I only predicted that after Saddam is gone and things settle down a little, we may have a very hard time keeping order and may get hit from all sides. There is a short window to show we are the good guys and set up an infrastructure and plan to leave. If we mess it up (and keep in mind there will be those who will push us to mess it up) then all hell breaks lose.
