this is all the cumulative effect of poor diplomacy (resulting in the absence of security council support) and poor post-war planning (if there even was a plan to begin with).
now, instead of digging up those wmd's, our guys are dying to give the iraqis democracy (that will probably crumble the second we leave).

amen to that.
increasingly, our behavior is becoming more like that of the israelis.
