"... if we hadn't gone into Iraq would it have made it more likely that we go into Iran as regards its nuclear ambitions - and not only go into Iran, which, as you know, I think is inevitable anyway, but commit to such a course with much less of an understanding of our vulnerabilities, vulnerabilities exposed by our misadventure in Iraq? I mean, you liberals love to go on and on and on about how wrong it was to go into Iraq, but actions have consequences not all of which are obvious, can be known, or will relent or adhere to a logic that one may wish upon them. Which is not to argue that all actions are ultimately forgivable because one can never know what good may come of them... well, maybe it is to argue that... but only in the sense I imagine that sometimes you're never so wrong as when you're right - and vice versa..."
