I agree with span here, we had to start somewhere and if anything the war in Iraq served a utilitarian need: Saddam was himself a terrorist against his own people and millions of people are safer now that he's in custody, and a large fraction of those people are Americans. I find it interesting that many Iraqis are mad that we haven't executed him already, instead of keeping him in prison. But anyway, we finished what we started in '91 because we couldn't have rightly turned our collective back on Iraq while trying to fight terrorism elsewhere. Now the military has done its part to ensure our security; that success was incrimental, and now it's time to use other tatics to fight on other fronts in further incriments.
