The Taliban, who directly supported the operations of Al Qaida, were thrwon from power. As a result, Al Qaida is no longer in the position of open operation that they were in before the war. Lethal blow? No. Limb-chopping blood-letting blow? Yes.

As for Iraq, that is a developing situation that is hard to understand by some folks who have no patience and would rather sit back eating Doritos and watching Comedy Central. Not that this is you. But this is a huge portion of lazy westerners who have no stomach for sacrifice and dedication. History will judge this, not you or I or Michael Moore or anyone else for that matter.

Can we try to keep the topic on Iran and not go down the Iraq rabbit hole please? You brought it up. I just answered what you presented as a fact, when it is just your opinion.
