Sadly, the current administration has crippled our country. If we had reacted to 9/11 by building nuclear power plants instead of wasting blood and treasure on Iraq, we would be energy-independent now. The money poured out onto the sand in Iraq would have built a thousand such plants and enabled us to laugh at OPEC. That is the real failure of Iraq, and “winning” the war, should it eventuate, will not lessen that defeat.
