1. The way things are going now it's hard to say. They now have terrorists in their midst, and lots of them. If it continues to get worse, this is a seriously debatable question.

2. This was also the wrong war at the wrong time carried out in the wrong way. That's part of the reason it's blowing up their faces. We are spread thin, the Taliban is rearing it's head in Afghanistan, and our country is going into massive debt. On top of that we've alienated many of our strongest allies - so we have practically no help in Iraq at all.

3. We are making new enemies, and creating more terrorists...and that's not good for anyone, anywhere.

4. Iraqis themselves are starting to get pissed.

5. Everything this administration touches ends up ruined.
