04/08/08 “Counterpunch” — American politicians and journalists have repeatedly made the same mistake in Iraq over the past five years.

This was true after the fall of Saddam Hussein when President Bush and his viceroy in Baghdad Paul Bremer believed that what Iraqis thought and did could safely be ignored. Within months guerrilla war against American forces was raging across central Iraq.
