Iraq

Mugged by reality from the Economist.com

Great article; hopefully you can read it without having to log in.

And it ends with this note...

"What a waste. Most Iraqis rejoiced in the toppling of Saddam. They trooped in their millions to vote. What would Iraq be like now if America had approached its perilous, monumentally controversial undertaking with humility, honesty and courage? Thanks to the almost criminal negligence of Mr Bush's administration nobody, now, will ever know." (emphasis mine)

This is from a respected publication that once defended this administration.
