7. The only thing we had going into this was our "moral authority..."
...which, IMHO, we lost anyway by launching a pre-emptive war against a sovereign nation which, by most accounts (barring the OSP) was NOT a imminent threat to our nation.

We are now no different than the "evil empire" of Reagan's era, in the eyes of the rest of the world...

Sucks to be the only superpower, doesn't it?
