"LESSONS LEARNED"
I might add the lesson: When your enemy is removed by a coup, and the mutineers ask you to send someone a mile down the road to pick him up, DO IT.
This was a major screw-up (by woerner?) that would have removed the need to invade to finish what years of sanctions couldn't do.

What gets to me is that it's usually us that put these dictators in power in the first place or support them as the "lesser of two evils". Then some other administration has to clean up the mess.
