I think history will agree on your first point. It was a ridiculous boondoggle at best, and a dangerous foreign policy mistake at worst (that we’re still paying for).
We didn’t pick the wrong side: There were NO good sides, just degrees of criminality and evil, backed by some of the best propaganda machines in history. (America) fell for the CNN/Bono/Saudi Arabia information ops campaign. Again.
We should never have been there to begin with, but reminisce with me for a moment about the “humanitarian” 90’s: Desert Storm, Somalia, Haiti, the Balkans...we were played each time.
Somebody(s) got real rich though...
Cheers
