This just occured to me for the first time, but you say that “because our reasoning for the ware was misguided, the war turned into a quagmire.” I’ve heard this sentiment many times, but thinking about it, what would be different if we had found these much ballyhooed WMDs? I suppose we might have more global support at this point, but also feel that such support might be in spirit only. Either way, we’d still be there right now, wouldn’t we?
Not trying to pick sides or anything here. I’m just wondering how things would be different. For some reason, I don’t feel they’d be that different–war sucks, nobody likes it, and when it’s all said and done, people want it over.
(also PC, you didn’t say WMDs yourself, I just wedged that in there because I seem to hear it a lot elsewhere… and I’m just kind of running stream of conciousness here)
