I'm not sure which ways bothers me the most. Before the Iraq invasion I had serious doubts about it, not on the basis of the peace nuts that are clueless regarding evil but on the basis that Islam is inherently and aggressively violent and not very compatible with democracy. I doubted our exit strategy of building a democracy in Iraq (although it's gone far better than I ever expected so far). The problem is, the only way for democracy to flourish is to move people away from Islam...something that seems unlikely for our, or any, government to be able to do. So if they understood this before starting then I wonder at their judgment, if they didn't understand it at the beginning I wonder at their preparation. Of course, at this point we're in with both feet and the only way out MUST be through victory.
