The Iraq war is over.

This deserves celebration, but it's hard to feel celebratory about it. I suppose some good was done, in that Saddam Hussein was gotten rid of, but the cost was far too high -- not just in money and lives, but in honor, international respect, and trust.

It's hard to call it a victory. Or a loss. It's just the end of a mistake.

Which is better than continuing a mistake, anyway.
