Consider lasik surgery to replace the rose colored glasses. While I don't think its as far removed from reality as Cheney/MacRumsfeld's "parades to greet the liberators", it's in the neighborhood.

How many people would have predicted that the fall of Communism would have resulted in the mess formerly known as Yugoslovia?

You really do seem to be advocating a 1989 Afghanistan policy. I think that's as foolhardy as the jingoistic facade of a policy that's gotten us here.

I find it amazing that only a few months ago a majority (small majority at just over 50%) thought their lives were already better than when Saddam was in power. In this is still with the US there, this is after the US dropped tons of bombs on them and their country is a disaster. I think that says something. The number will obviously fluctuate with the things that are going on the country. If the "Insurgence" get more of a foothold then that number will go down. If the US gains "control" again them that number will probably go up.
