I see alot of harm Iraq has done to this country. I'll list a few:
1) shattered the myth of our invincibility
2) destroyed alliances built painstakingly since WWII
3) polarized this country against itself
4) distracted us from doing something about our oil dependence
5) exacerbated the deficit
6) allowed Iran to run amok with their pursuit of nukes

And I could go on. However, on this far left leaning thread, I do find it necessary from time to time to point out that good can come from Iraq. Democracy and real freedom being two that are already starting to flower and have the potential to spread beyond Iraq's borders.
