it was wrong to go into iraq under false pretenses </>I

that's begging the question

conflating al quaeda and saddam was stupid

True but Bush didn't do that.

expecting instant democracy was dumb

Instant democracy? Yeah maybe a little dumb. Fairly quick democracy, well it happened. The problem in Iraq is not lack of democracy. Lack of stability is a problem, but that's improving.

it was wrong to mis-fight the war

If by wrong you mean morally wrong, than I disagree, making mistakes isn't evil. If by wrong you mean practically wrong, then your posting a useless tautology. Making mistakes is a mistake gee, I don't know that...

we created al quaeda in iraq

Not true.

The rest I agree with.
