"I do think that we are more secure than if we had not acted at all."
That's an illusion. The war in Iraq is producing the perfect breeding ground for disenchanted young men & reinforcing their beief that Cristians & especially Anglo-Saxons are the cause of their problems.
The war waged upon Afghanistan was barely tolerable, but attacking Iraq is clearly not in the interest of anyone that isn't from there.
"That having been said, we certainly are safer as a result of winning the cold war"
What would lead you to that delusion? In a cash strapped Russia there is more chance of a nuclear weapon falling in to the wrong hands. During the cold war it would more likely be an American that would start a nuclear war.
