Iraq was sold in 2002 to 2003 as cheap(oil will pay for it) , easy (we will be welcomed as liberators, like in France 1944) and necessary (those scary mushroom clouds) and it turned out endless sets of problems after problems.

Yep.

Thanks, as I was once a real believer in Bush, Cheney, Rummy and I really believed them.

And to see the nightmare drag on month after month, year after year it was very painful for me and many others I am sure.

Taught me real lesson though,

Hate to be the historic skunk of the party, but many supported the Iraq War as a test case of Democracy in Arabia.

After 9/11, it was clear that failed dictatorships were using Islam to direct disaffected young men against the West.

If a democracy could work, then those young men would quit bombing and start working at a productive job.

That attempt was worth a try. If it had worked, we would have bought 100 years of peace.

It didn’t work, proving that Islam is hopeless. That doesn’t make the attempt dishonorable. It makes it a bad bet in hindsight.

Next time anyone suggests intervention in Arabia (see Syria), America will rightly recoil due to our proved inability to affect those horrid muslims.

The end point for me now is that Islam is to be fenced off. They should not be physically allowed into the modern world.
