The Iraqi occupation has made a bad situation worse, with real
political power passing to violent militias on the streets

It has long been clear to all bar its most stubborn advocates that the
invasion and occupation of Iraq has been the mother of all foreign
policy disasters. Three years ago this week, President Bush flew on to
the USS Abraham Lincoln to announce that "major combat operations in
Iraq have ended". In a display of premature triumphalism that quickly
came to symbolise the hubris and folly of US policy, the banner over
his head declared: "mission accomplished".
