It's true--going after Afghanistan at least made a kind of sense after 9/11--whereas going after Iraq, a secular, non-Islamist dictatorship in order to "fight terrorism" makes very little sense.
One has to wonder--if the US had concentrated its military might on Afghanistan, would they have found Bin Laden, destroyed the Taliban, and crippled Al-Qaeda? I have to say, I think the answer is "probably." Iraq is one of the most glaring examples history has for us of "taking your eye off the ball." For that alone, Bush has to be up there among the worst.
