Personally I didn't have a big issue with the invasion of Afghanistan... most can agree the the Taliban was abhorrent. The result is the support of many nations and, I would argue, the support of most moderate Muslims.
Iraq is an entirely different question and regarless of how the US admin tries to spin its actions just doesn't come out smelling good. It served only to alienate the moderate Muslims who otherwise, might have been a force for "good" and angered much of the global populace who could not see this as anything but an wrong headed invasion.
There were other methods that could have been used, sadly they don't look as good on TV as the staged toppling of Saddam's statue (or better put, they take time to impliment... something that is in short supply to an Administration with less than 3 years left in its first term...)
