You could argue that we should have fought WWII sooner.

Conversely, we lost in Viet-Nam and the subsequent years have proved that the dire consequences of failing to stop Communism from spreading to Viet-Nam never materialized - there was no "domino effect".

The stated reasons for going into Iraq have already been proven to be mistakes at best, but more likely outright fabrications. The stated goal - a democratic government in Iraq that will spread democracy throughout the M.E. and be a friend to Israel - is lunacy. Why would anyone believe a democratic govt in Iraq would suddenly turn it's back on Palestine and embrace Israel?

bin Laden is on TV and looking quite healthy for a man the Bush admin recently said was on dialisis or dead. Also, he's apparently in Afghanistan or Pakistan, not Iraq.
