When it's over, if there is no more terror, then he did good. I don't care how many countries he invades, as long as he's invading terrorism supporting nations and rendering them harmless. If he can secure a robust supply of oil for us at the same time, so much the better.
But if these wars end and there is still terror, and all he did was get some of his rich friends richer, he should be hung.

'Deepened divisions'
The effects of the U.S.-led war on terror have been far-reaching, Amnesty said in a statement.
"Far from making the world a safer place, [the war] has made it more dangerous by curtailing human rights, undermining the rule of international law and shielding governments from scrutiny. It has deepened divisions among people of different faiths and origins, sowing the seeds for more conflict," the statement said.
In a separate press conference Wednesday, William Schulz, executive director of Amnesty International USA, said U.S.-led events of 2003 generated deleterious effects.
The war on Iraq provided an excuse for other countries "in the name of anti-terrorism or in the name of national security" to crack down on opponents of their regimes, he said.
Schulz said the Iraqi war was a "distraction of the world's attention from horrific human rights abuses elsewhere," and gave ammunition to countries that circumvent the United Nations and "use the excuse the United States itself does not respect international law."
