    Bush should have known that this would happen. One can only hope that he and his architects are simply inept at game theory logic . The alternative is that a treasonous set of people became the government and decided to bankrupt their own country in order to enrich their friends and personal money interests.

    This war never made any strategic sense either from a humanitarian or a cold hard cash point of view. Unless one looking for benefits is not the US as a country but only a subset of its business money culture. Then this war makes immense sense. The hunt for personal money/power above and beyond ethics or ones own country's prosperity is the source for all this mess.

    Why cant iraqi people rise up and proclaim enough is enough we love our country, lets all unite and show americans they can leave us because we can save our own homeland! They cant because they are beneath national identity. They cant because they allow pathetic theocratic murderers like Sadr to even be relevant.

      Where are the leaders? Where are the leaders here and there? Where is the inspiring Iraqi leader that will become the new father of modern Iraq, that will rise up and ask his/her citizens to embrace the opportunity for democracy that the invasion provided for them? Where is the iraqi that will love all kurds, Shias and Sunnis and demand from them to do something for their land and embrace a future of peace .And where is the american leader that will monopilize the Iraqi TV channels for a month if needed and talk directly to iraqi people , explain that his country has no financial gain or exploitation in mind and demand from them to rise up and prove their national identity. Where is the guy that will offer iraqi people a contract with the future? Where is the leader that will engage them all and demand from them to unite and reject alcaeda, reject sectarianism, warlords and embrace instead a properous future for their kids free from Saddam and free from US generals. WHERE?
