Not predicted?
Before the invasion there was a lot of news debates about the consequences of invading Iraq. (Tension between the minority groups, street to street fighting, the increase of terrorism, etc.).
Maybe none of these issues weren't addressed about in America.
One reason other countries didn't want to invade Iraq is because they knew it was going to be a bloody mess to pick up after the invasion.
