Other than that, we are in deeper water now than we were a couple years ago.

"Permitted and endorsed"? You make it sound so passive. We took out a murdering, torturing, power-hungry despot and his cronies. Although hundreds of innocent civilians were probably injured or killed during the war, that pales in comparison to how many would have been beaten, tortured, raped, and killed had we done nothing. That alone justifies the relatively small price of going to war.
And how exactly are we in "deeper water" now? Care to be a little more specific?
