If you honestly can't see the positives possible from this situation, you're only looking at the end of your nose. Now, I understand this shortsightedness if you have family or friends fighting the battle - your priorities and concerns lie with them. However, this was an opportunity to make real change in a region that has been backsliding for a decade.

The fact that this backsliding may have led to WMD is largely important, especially when combined with the destablization in the region, although the specific lack of findings I find to be relatively irrelevant.
But we have countries in our own back yard that suffer from oppression and lack of westernized medicine and education? Do we load up the tanks and bomb them? Help me understand.
