The fact is, it was a big fat mistake and it destabilized the Middle East and indirectly caused the current Muslim Invasion of Europe and DIRECTLY increased the power of Iran in the region a thousandfold.

You are wrong. The destabilization came from the power vacuum caused by our abrupt withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran filled the void and all the rest followed.

I am right. Iraq is majority Shiite and ruled by an iron-fisted Sunni and THAT was stable.

We destabilized THAT.

The ME has not been the same since.

Bush f*d up. Accept it.
