That doesn't make you (plural) any more right, or me any more wrong. I believe we went there for the right reasons, that we need to stay until the job is done, and that the US has the right to defend itself and its citizens against threats real or potential, in the manner that the administration and our military sees fit. Ugly things happen in war, and that's what this is.
