Article on Iraq

I found this article from Fareed Zakaria concerning the war and reconstruction in Iraq. I have read Zakaria's articles in Newsweek every month this year and from his writing I have very high regard for him. He is very pragmatic on Iraq and his articles usually provide sound reasoning.

Rather, the right lesson is that American power, because it is so overweening, must be used with extraordinary care and wisdom. Most of the world's problems--from aids to the Israeli-Palestinian issue--would be better served with more American intervention, not less. But, because of the blunders in Iraq, it is possible that most of the world, and far too many Americans, will draw the wrong lesson on this final point as well.

I think that sums it up very well... Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
