When people say that, it was good to get rid of Saddam Hussein, and the intentions were OK, but we were just going to make things worse and it was a waste of resources and manpower. I call this the Naive argument. It was Naive for the the US to make it better. Although I don't agree with that argument I can respect it.

What was capital-N Naive was invading Iraq on the premise that we could remake it in our own, democratic image. Hope and faith are not policies. I think it's now clear who was Naive.
