And Armitage's disappointments? Not a lugubrious person, Armitage doesn't nominate disappointments spontaneously. But he'll answer a question honestly: "I'm disappointed that Iraq hasn't turned out better. And that we weren't able to move forward more meaningfully in the Middle East peace process."

Then, after a minute's pause, he adds a third regret: "The biggest regret is that we didn't stop 9/11. And then in the wake of 9/11, instead of redoubling what is our traditional export of hope and optimism we exported our fear and our anger. And presented a very intense and angry face to the world. I regret that a lot."

History has shown that evil empires respect only one thing - strength. We showed strength. Who knows what might have happened had we not shown that strength?
 
Yeah, curse the United States for freeing Afghanistan from the despotic rule of the Taliban and allowing the people to have free elections. And then, the United States had the nerve to do the same thing in Iraq by freeing Iraqis from Saddam's despotic rule and setting up free elections there!

The Middle East was such a more peaceful and prosperous place prior to us entering Afghanistan and Iraq.

I think most people agree with Afghanistan. Most dont agree with Iraq however.
