perhaps, a more positive way to look at this from a naysayer point of view would be this: at least something good can come out of this. a silver lining in a dark cloud.
no matter how the adminstration wants to spin it, we went in looking WMD and didn't find them. then it became about freeing the Iraqi people--there's lots of other countries whose people need to be "freed" so why iraq? and of course it was NEVER about oil, money, or power now was it. i remain cynical about the underlying reasons, the true value in our choice to be there but choose to be optimistic that something good will come from this.
