Dr. Robert Higgs, an anti-interventionist libertarian and Senior Fellow in Political Economy at the Independent Institute on Taking Stock One Year After the U.S. Invasion of Iraq:
One year ago the United States unleashed its armed forces in an invasion of Iraq. Prior to the invasion, the Bush administration offered a variety of justifications for launching it and defended its war plan against critics who claimed that a U.S. invasion was unnecessary and would be immoral or unwise. For everyone except those blinded by partisan loyalty to the Bush administration, the truth is now all too obvious. The administration was wrong and the critics were right.

“The administration was wrong and the critics were right.”
I agree that the administration was wrong about a good many things, but to say the critics were right will depend on who those critics are.
If it includes someone at a “peace” rally holding a sign which reads “I love NY better without the towers” or a podium speaker that says we need to ally ourselves with the very people killing American soldiers so that the occupation can be ended, than I prefer to be wrong.
Never before have I been so infuriated by both our administration and by those that oppose them.
