I think we will need to wait a few years to determine if it was a large mistake or a brilliant act. You left out "dumb luck"...<g>

it appears the Iraq invasion has changed the middle east.. I think we will need to wait a few years to determine if it was a large mistake or a brilliant act. Well, there is also that third way, the muddle-it-through way. It may not do much of anything, just resorting the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. You could easily get a strongman type in Iraq and a long term settling back into despotism. Only strengthened by its survival capabilities. Unlikely. But none of us knows the future. I keep trying to think of the Yogi Berra comment about the future. Anyone remember it?
