This article makes some monumental leaps of faith. First, the author assumes that Saddam is alive, and if he is alive and survives the war will live in sweet luxurious exile from whence he can plan his return to the world stage. Secondly, he assumes that the Fedayeen and other goons will roam the countryside with impunity because the citizens love to be used as suicide bombers and human shields. No, the citizens would never turn on Saddam's goons.

This article is just one of many to come. Now that the left has been proven to be grossly wrong (again), they're eagerly starting in on their next bunch of sour grapes.

I agree with you that the author's nightmare scenario is unlikely for this reason. The one risk is if liberal internationalists lead the U.S. (or U.N.) to prevent the coming, and much needed, bloodbath of Baathist scum.
