Reagan seemed to be able to put the fear into despots without invading their countries. I’m not sure we’ve had a president since that could do the same.

I think that if a number of noted democrats and the media hadn’t sabotaged the war effort and given aid and comfort to the enemy, the war would have had an over all positive effect.

Right. No exit strategy, no invasion.

Staying in Iraq until things "stabilize", whenever that would be, is not an exit strategy.

Well, he did invade Grenada. And he did bomb Libya. And he did sink the Iranian Navy.
