The latest news reports, Kevin, are saying that the US is refusing any potential Iraqi interim government in a post-war Iraq in favor of a US Military governor and all top levels of the government filled by Americans; then the lower levels comprised of Iraqis.

Oh yeah. That's gonna go over well. Even if the intentions are entirely honorable, most of the Middle East is still sore over the whole colonial era and are NOT going to respond well. The Iraqi opposition is already objecting, but their main gripe seems to be they're afraid that a US military government wouldn't kick out all of the members of the Ba'ath Party.
