I'm happy with one thing: we haven't had a single attack in the U.S. since 9/11. That is because we took the war to them. I'd much rather be fighting them in Iraq with our professional armed forces, than have our civilians being slaughtered like cattle here in the homeland. I am also happy in that I feel the U.S. gave it their best shot to bring Democracy to the Middle East. If it doesn't take, then never again can anyone in the world say that the U.S. didn't try with all our might. If we can't do it, then no one can. Although, truthfully, if we'd have someone with Clinton's diplomatic abilities combined with Bush's forward leaning posture wrt military, then that would have been the winning combination required to pull it off in Iraq. Sadly, Bush may fail not because the vision was wrong, but because his execution was poor.
