As for Iraq, it does depend on whether you think the end (or at least the hoped for end) of a democratic Iraq justifies the means of waging a war to get it. Maybe we should have had a "cold" war, like the one that resulted in the democractic movements in Eastern Europe. It would have taken longer, but maybe less people would have died.
I also think that virtually no one fighting in Iraq now is linked to Saddam, so in a sense the war we went in to fight is over. I hope the recent peal deal with the supporters of Moqtada Sadr means we're moving towards a more peaceful Iraq, where elections can take place. I can't see many reasonable Iraqis supporting the indescriminate bombing that seems to be the mainstay of the remaining "resistance".
