Cenk Uygur has a really good article at The Huffington Post called We Were Right. In spite of the sound of the title it's actually not an I told you so. "We shouldn't be proud because things went poorly, as we feared and suspected. We should be proud that we tried to get people to change direction even when it was most unpopular."
He includes an apology from conservative talk radio host Doug McIntyre which is very much worth a read.
Uygur ends by saying that our policy of pre-emptive strike is now being seen in Israel and possibly by Turkey. Our go it alone attitude is translated as "When in doubt, invade" which isn't really much of a translation from Cheney's 1% solution. He points out that Israel shouldn't invade because "It will only push Lebanon further towards the extremists." and instead of attacking Iran we should "Fight against the culture of fundamentalism through persuasion, free markets and education." Oh, and we should still be going after bin Laden.
