Just because your opinion doesn't matter doesn't mean you shouldn't have one.
I agree with you on Iraq: we made a mess, now we have to fix it. But at the same time our very presence is a problem, too. From what little I've read, Gulf War I is what caught Bin Laden et al's attention: American soldiers moving through Saudi Arabia to get to Iraq was enough to do it. And now we're really mucking around over there and leaving a "munafiq" government in our wake.

So, yeah, we're damned either way.
