I am a pessimist about the reconstruction of Iraq. (Which is to say, I really do think the world will be a worse place, net-net as you would say, for what we have done.) But I really am trying to keep the focus specifically on this Zarqawi thing. If the Bush Administration really had faith in this drain-the-swamp thing, they wouldn't have worried that taking out Zarqawi would undermine the war effort. That worry only comes up because they were self-consciously trying to sell the war on false pretenses.
