This quote, from the Photagrapher Mosse, is what stuck me the most:

       "The most interesting thing for me," he says, "is the very fact that the U.S. chose to occupy Saddam's 
        palaces in the first place. If you're trying to convince a population that you have liberated them from a
        terrible dictator, why would you then sit in his throne?"
