Even if Iraq turns out "ok" it will still be the wrong thing to have done, as far as I'm concerned, because I don't think you take risks like that, in the desperate hope that things "might" turn out ok. If you don't have a fairly good chance of succeeding, you should use an alternative method- otherwise you are wasting resources (imo). Most people don't operate that way, or expect others to operate that way, and are emotional, and pay almost exclusive attention to ends (whether interim or final)- so I agree with you, if by some quirk of fate Iraq ends up stable, and nothing else horrible happens, people will forgive Bush. But they will be wrong to do so.
