As the last of our troops return home from Iraq, the greatest tragedy of this misguided war is if we learn nothing.

As Americans, we should wish nothing but the best for the people of Iraq -- but we should also acknowledge that, if the country finds peace and prosperity, it will be in spite of what the U.S. government did to their country, not because of it.

The U.S. may be leaving Iraq, but we should not be abandoning the Iraqi people. Particularly those who have put their lives on the line to rebuild their country in peace.

It's not all about Iraq. It is about America's interests around the globe and the costs and benefits of pursuing different strategies.
