I usually try to steer clear of dry documentation! 

This file is an old 'find' from when Rumsfeld was exiting Defence : a War Game outlining the likely consequences of invading Iraq. I didn't realize at that time it was a Clinton-era plan. 'Post-Saddam Iraq : Desert Crossing' seems more like a cautionary tale than a pattern which can be repeated to overthrow governments.
