"The Americans are good-hearted. When they love you, they really love you," says al-Jaburi, "but when you finish your job, they forget you."

If there's some unhappiness, I suspect that it is from people who are either exaggerating their role or inventing promises that were never made." The greatest pledge the U.S. made to these people, of course, was that it would take down Saddam. That it did, with their considerable assistance. --With reporting by Timothy J. Burger/Washington
