Really?!?
I love it. Now Rumsfeld is saying that there has always been the chance of a civil war in Iraq and the only reason why it hasn't happened already was because Saddam had held it together. No duh. What did we think would happen after "liberating" Iraq from Saddam and foisting a Westernized democracy upon it? Square peg in a round hole.
I'm not saying Saddam was a nice guy, but a comment like this just makes me seethe when I think of the thousands who've died over there in this ill-advised war.
