Com'on now...don't you remember Rummy and the NeoCons talking about how the coalition would be showered with candy and have parades for them as their liberators?

This despite the fact that many warned that Iraq was really comprised of three separate factions who were prone to separate when released from Saddam's grip?

Unfortunately, these groups were either ignored, marginalized, branded as "Liberals" (now a dirty word in American politics) or worst of all, "with the terrorists"...

Karma's a biyatch!
