Well, not that it was the most stable place to begin with, but I definitely think we have aided in the destabilization of the region by our efforts in Iraq. We kicked a hornet’s nest and now our enemies are just a little extra thirsty for blood, both from us, and our allies.
Could Kerry have made a noticeable difference, had he become President? I’m pretty skeptical of that assertion. The damage was already done. This is a mess that won’t be cleared up for years to come, in my opinion.
