I believe that invading Iraq, Afganistan or wherever was basically needed... but heck, our biggest investment - by far - in Afganistan was $3b oil pipeline, the guy we installed falls right into line... for now. This is how Sadam, Osama and everyone else started out, and that ended with 9/11. So I'm worried that our actions will cause us more terrorism - not less - in the future.
What would prove me wrong? Well, I'll admit that there's not a 100% chance that another 9/11 will occur - just too complex to pull off. But I certainly think there will be a lot of anti US feeling, and more terrorist attacks on a smaller scale. I guess I'd be proved wrong if the new Iraq and Aganistan governments turn out to be decent once we take our troops out.
