I seem to remember one person telling the US that they would invade Iraq, find no WMD's, end up in a Vietnam-esque guerilla war, and after many years of casualities the US would flee with their tail between their legs.
In Europe, there is little if any talk of the Iraq war (sans the UK). The people there have decided that if they just ignore the US, maybe they will finally pull the foot out of their mouths and realize that they are going to have get off of their high thrones and actually cooperate with other countries rather than "go it alone".
Oh, and it was Saddam himself who predicted the situation we are now in.
