Well then we do have quite a dilemma. One that hits almost every remaining angry partisan hot button on the political landscape. The din is overwhelming. And I don’t mean that here i mean in the media in general right now.

I don’t get what you think the huge dilemma is, and how it hits partisan buttons.

So it makes sense in conversations to me to stop conflating different events like the US signing off on regime change and later invading on false grounds.

It wasn’t the signing off on the regime change that was the problem, it was how we went about it. Signing off on regime change was fine. Enacting regime change through invasion was almost certainly doomed to failure.
