It is possible that years from now, when the Iraqis learnt o manage themselves and figure out how to build their own democracy consistent withtheir own needs, not those of the US, that they will be grateful to W for breaking in and tearing out the previous structure willy nilly, killing thousands of their relatives (or ancestors, depending on how far intot he future we are looking)and turning the reconsteruction of the country over to US military contractors.

But I don't think that perspective will be possible for another ten years.
