While I agree on the issue of invading Iraq, but if you look at AQ, they probably lost more members, volunteers, organizers and reputation in Iraq (and because of Iraq) than in Afghanistan - but at enormous cost to the US.

They did lose some reputation and respect... but Iraq made them stronger overall. And it also changed the ME political balance, not for the better. As you say "at enormous cost to the US".

Bottom line is that Americans have always had more to fear from each other than from AQ. We do more damage to each other every week than AQ did with their one successful strike.
