With the minor problem of fact being that the Iraqi ruling party weren't islamic fundimentalists, they were secular. Now that the secular government has collapsed, all the fundies are moving in.
Oh yeah, and it's being told that this was done by some sort of al qaeda cell or splitoff, and al-Zarqawi's name is being invoked. You'll remember al-Zarqawi, he's the one that bush coulda took out years ago, but didn't. Something about it not looking good around mid-term elections or something.
So... secular country ruled over by a brutal but toothless dictator turned into breeding ground for terrorists. Hooray, nation building!
