We must remember that all of these people had dreams of going down in history as the architects of the greatest humanitarian mission in history. They would proudly wear their moral seriousness on their sleeves, give speeches about "the decent left" (them) to marginalize the actual left, be the toast of the town, perhaps marry a nice Iraqi girl, stride around the world in Bremer boots offering sage counsel to any who would listen.
Of course now that their disastrous idea is a disaster they just whine about how it's not their fault and how those dirty fucking hippies still stink like patchouli.
Get the fuck over yourselves. It's not fucking about you.
