Thats easy.
The so called "anti-war crowd" has predicted a lot of the shit thats currently happening in Iraq. There were reports about the US play "try and error" in Iraq from day one.
Sure "we" are happy now, but frankly I would also be a lot happier if I've benn wrong and the Iraq would be a safe nation by now and on a good way to democracy, but it is still far away. Additinally I'm afraid that as long as the "everything is OK, we'll just need more bombs" right wing crowd has the command things will not become better.
