Yes, that's my opinion. I don't know for sure... You don't... and No One knows, and no one will know for sure, if we did things right for years to come. After 9/11 we had the world ready to help and we had the right to apply pressure... until Bush got going with Iraq and his threats. And In my opinion if we go, we go with more troops, we needed more help if we were going in. The numbers are far too low. But we can't get the help we need from our allies and more Islamic region troops. Arrogance and poor diplomacy caused that. You got two half ass wars being played out that we should have been more effective with larger numbers on the ground and in the air. It would be more violent, more casualties, but more effective. Now we have to show we are willing to protect innocent people because the extension of the war is lingering on and on. Better information maybe? Planning? Maybe, but not having enough men and better alliances has made this go much longer. The troops have my 100% support and I hope that better decisions will be made to help them. Taunting the enemy didn't help.
