That I thought it would be a disaster for the Iraqi people--Baghdad 
in ruins, lots of civilian casualties, brutal guerrilla warfare for 
years. That I thought it would be a disaster for U.S. national 
security--severely reduce the degree to which other governments would 
cooperate in tracking down Al-Qaeda and related terrorists, and serve 
as a big recruitment video for Al-Qaeda and company.

Looks like I was wrong on the first. I hope I'm wrong on the second.
