Parts of the invasion and occupation were certainly badly mishandled by the US, leading to a much greater loss of life than was necessary. But, taking the long view, can anyone doubt that the invasion had the effect of shaking up the pieces, not just in Iraq, but across the Islamic chessboard?
当年我是反对美国2003年入侵伊拉克的那群人之一。如今我怀疑自己是否错了。一部分入侵和占领行动显然被美国搞砸了，并因此导致了过多的伤亡。但长远来看，谁能否认这场入侵其实动摇了中东（而不仅仅是伊拉克）这块大棋盘？
