I’m not sure I’d count Iraq. The insurgency isn’t over, for one. And the insurgency didn’t even exist before the invasion.

No, but Iraq was a land of mass killings and political oppression before we were there. And the insurgency isn’t gone yet, but the Iraqi government is slowly grinding it under. Barring a major misstep by al-Maliki, he will succeed in destroying it.
