Fareed, usually love you, but this:
'There is no doubt today that the costs of the invasion have far outweighed the benefits. But in the long view of history, will that always be true?'
is an extremely questionable and flaccid argument. Take your views, as you have, but stand your ground somewhere. Hopefully you can say with some confidence that this total misuse and squandering of our power position in the world, not to mention the squandering of treasure and human souls, is totally innappropriate and that it will be true that this will be looked back upon as a huge mistake and blunder. Or perhaps your ground is that this was a great war and will one day be looked back upon as such, but draw your line in the sand. Don't be flaccid like good old Bill on Big Love.
