If you have the "progress/good intentions" mindset, you'll probably say it has all been worth it. Progress and good intentions are not enough. What are the RESULTS? Especially the long-term results/blow back. For those who would say keeping terror at bay, forget about asscrakcistan and look into the string pullers i.e. Saudi Arabia.
