Double up in Afghanistan or leave
You are certainly right that we stuffed the country of Iraq. But how, pray tell, was this in anyone's economic interest? Iraq was already selling us their oil and I have never seen any war scenario that said getting rid of the rabid Hussain (who I admit we created) would get us more oil or the same oil at a cheaper price. Each and every pre-invasion scenario said that the war would cost us serious money that could never be recouped.
PS: as for Mr Morgan calling Iraq a "once orderly society" - I hope one day he will have a chance to live in such order and look forward to hearing how he likes it.
