And herein lies the proof of one of my original points -- if radical Islam were truly the greatest threat to the U.S. today, then the U.S. was fighting on the wrong side in 1991.

And my general point was that "right" and "wrong" side as far as human affairs go, changes over time, and invloves thousands of relevant players (people or groups that effectively choose their own course), not tens. The human condition is complex, chaotic and unpredictable.

I agree. I wasn't necessarily posting that in terms of "right" and "wrong" sides.
