I don't think you could call it a success.
Give it ten years see, then maybe. But so far you've got thousands dead on the US side. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands dead on the Iraqi's side, and no guarantee there is stability yet.
If there is stability then maybe, sure. But I think it's FAR to early to be declaring that yet.
Especially with the amount of lives that were lost. We will see yet if they were in vain or not.
