The reason we gave the people of Iraq to like us (or else) was that we were overthrowing a despot who was living the good life while torturing and murdering everyone else. Building a giant, opulent castle (with a pool! in the desert!) would seem to indicate that we haven't learned any lessons about what happens to bullies who consolidate the wealth at the expense of the common man. I mean, this has "then an even bigger fish ate the big fish!" written all over it. Not that I expect us to be militarily rousted, just that we're setting up shop rather like, well, a certain dictator did. And all I'm saying is that didn't work out so well for the dictator now did it?
