Bilow, your views and predictions about post-war Iraq have been the most accurate than any others I have seen or read anywhere -- although hyperbole does intrude into many of your posts. Some of us agreed with you that the war should never have been started, but most of us expected and hoped that with all the money and blood we poured into the place, something good would come out. I guess most of us have been pretty poor judges of human nature in the Middle East, in spite of the rich historical record. The situation can be summed up in three words that some Kuwaiti said about Iraq: "Iraqis are tough." Things could have still worked out, but the post-war actions needed were so ideologically opposite to the Bush administration, there was no way in hell Bush would have taken them.
