>So from the perspective of my large preference for focusing on alternative energies instead, I can say that Iraq was a mistake. But since Congress has proven to us that they are incapable of passing a truly revolutionary, sweeping energy bill, I have to say that invading Iraq was a decent second best option and not a mistake. One more twist: had I known that Bush and friends were incapable of executing the vision, then I would have been against it, even with the knowledge that no real energy reform was in the offing. A good idea with poor execution is just as bad as a bad idea. >So in conclusion, I guess I have to say that Iraq was a mistake because this adminstration is failing in the execution and costing us more in lives, money, and global goodwill than was worth it. You and I agree a lot here. -Z
