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.

Oh yeah, I totally agree. I just don't think that it's a failure, by any means. Civil war has been averted, the Kurds will get their separate state, and there is a functioning polity/economy.
