This from Time: <a title="TIME.com: Vengeance Has its Day -- Dec. 01, 2003" href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101031201-548790,00.html?cnn=yes">TIME.com: Vengeance Has its Day -- Dec. 01, 2003</a>

Until recently, U.S. authorities pointed to the absence of widespread civil conflict in Iraqâ??in particular, the general reluctance of Iraqi Shi'ites to retaliate against security officials who tormented them under Saddam's mostly Sunni governmentâ??as a harbinger of long-term stability. But seven months after the fall of Baghdad, a wave of revenge killings is sweeping Iraq.

<i><b>Despite </b></i>the administration's spin on OIF, it does not go as well as they would have us believe. Combine this with the Kurdish problems in the North and it begins, once again, to look like the models of civil war, with our soldiers caught in the middle. That would be the models that the State Department did prior to invasion - the ones that Perle, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld all ignored.
