A) Saddam needed to be ousted, once we were sure of the support of the people
B) Iraq did not support al-qaeda, iraqi security documents were found classifying Zarqawi as "Very dangerous"
C) We didn't send in enough troops to occupy a country. Defeat the army and topple the government yes, but not to occupy.
D) We're screwed.

Not really. It is something we will win, I guarentee. But it will take a long time, maybe even a decade or two. But lets hope Bush or Gordon Brown don't decide to pull out before then, because THEN we would be screwed. If the Iraqs think we can't make democracy work there it will just acend back into a dictatorship under one of the insurgent groups.
-----------------
The thing about the war in Iraq is it's a lot like the war on drugs. You can't fully win, you can hurt it, you can make a impact on it but you can never win since it's human kind to do drugs and it's human kind to defends ones nation and religion. The only thing that is different is with Iraq I guess you could drop a nuke and kill all the Iraqi's (God Forbid), where with the war on drugs you can't drop a bomb.
!!!VIVA IRAQI MUJAHIDEEN!!!

But there not defending the nation or there religion, there trying to sieze control of a country. So in effect there defending there way of life, but not there country or there religion.
And MigKiller2 is right the only real winners in war are generaly the banks. However if we can defeat the insurgent groups and AlQuada in Iraq and Afghanistan then these would be the first wars in quite a while where civilians would be better off in the end. One can only hope.
