Absolutely. Assuming you are making reference to the US support of Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, there was no way to correctly predict the endgame at that time, nor is there any way to re-write history as if the European and Arab powers had determined that a prolonged presence in Iraq following the 1991 Gulf War had happened. Had Clinton sent an expeditionary force to take out Osama bin Laden the world would have howled in protest.
Focusing on the thread, there is an interesting article in "The Nation" by David Corn. He suggests that while the votors have spoken, he also quotes Terry McAuliffe who said the voters have "reluctantly given us the keys,".
