Forget about the opponents of the war for a second.
Anybody who took the time to read and heed the warnings by the military and of Colin Powell concerning war with Iraq knew well before the vote was taken, that bringing peace would be a lot harder than beating Iraq was going to be. I clearly remembering Rumsfeld, for example, opining that we would be in Iraq from 7 - 10 years and maybe more. Many people suggested that England's long history of dealing with insurrections, many of them quite successful and some of them failures, was a useful model for the USA.
