C2, you are perhaps the first person I have seen who admitted that the WOT in Iraq was misguided. Hindsight is 20/20. If you ask any reasonably honest person who supported the Iraq war what his feelings about it are now, you will probably find that most will admit that it was a mistake. Eliminating the bulwark to Iran will be very, very bad for us and everyone else in the Middle East, except of course Syria, Hizbollah and other supporters of the Iranian nutocracy. I don't think many foresaw the extent of our involvement in Afghanistan. A stealth war on which the Executive Power has sought little input from Congress, except for the huge amount of $$$ necessary to prosecute it. There is absolutely no national interest at play in Afghanistan. Some will suggest to you the 'terrorist base' argument, which IMO is bogus. Terrorists have any number of places in which to train and base themselves. If we kick them out of Afghanistan, they will go to Yemen, or Sudan or some other hellhole. They are like cockroaches, impossible to eliminate. But they can be controlled.
