I haven't seen any argumentative evidence yet that the Iraq War was strategically or even morally unsound. Vietnam was handled less than ideally on the tactical level (show me the Perfect War), but fighting the spread of communism proved - historically - to be the right thing to do in the broader sense. For all the protesting and draft dodging the left indulged themselves in during 'Nam, can anyone say the fall of the Iron Curtain and defeat of communism was a bad thing for the world? In the same way, does anyone believe that fighting the spread of terrorism is wrong?
Are we saying the concept of GWOT is sound, but the methods are wrong? Are we expressing our disapproval over how the GWOT has been fought, or is the problem the GWOT itself? Something else?
