This is very true and reflects the largest mistake that the Bush administration has made and is still making today. We thought we would be greeted as wonderful liberators when we should have been ready to be tough occupiers.

When you say "We" I hope you are not saying the entire nation felt this way. There was warning after warning that going to war was going to lead to this end, but anyone who opposed the wisdom of the war hawks got shouted down as "hatters of America' and "lefty morons". Only the sheeple who followed the Bush call to war with his lie coated propaganda are shocked with this outcome. Please don't try to include everyone and say that there was ever some kind of united consensus for this war amongst the population. Objection to the war and predictions of this kind of turn out had been stated well in advance, but the Bush administration and right wing media worked overtime to suppress any decent to the war plan. To use an old phrase, "Told you so".
