Instead we showed the world we will lie and act irrational to justify the invasion of a country that had nothing to do with the stated reasons for our invasion. That despite a virtual internation concensus we will do what we want on the world stage. That makes it hard to build up true alliances. We lose respect and goodwill, which is also important.
We also shattered something very important. The impression the rest of the world had that our military was invincible. That was an important bit of PR we had going for us. It made everyone else fear and respect our military might.
