Bad call on Iraq. History is proving your assessment wrong, every day. The astronomical costs to the U.S. treasury, and the mounting veterans' costs for wounded Americans is just part of it:

Does THAT sound like it was 'worth it'?

Chancellor Merkel and other Germans in leadership positions have also noted that they are bearing the brunt of the Syrian refugee crisis at a cost of 30 to 40 billion euros a year. As Ms. Merkel pointed out, if those 30 to 40 billion euros were included in the NATO-requirement tally, “they’d be putting a lot more than 2 percent of their budget a year toward security.”

The Germans, like most cognizant human beings on Earth, are also “quick to note” that the overriding reason there are so many “displaced people in the Middle East,” particularly in Syria, is because of American military interventions.

Remember, if America had not invaded, occupied and destabilized Iraq, there is no flood of angry Iraqis fleeing into Syria, no Syrian civil war or humanitarian crisis, there is no ISIS, and there is no need for Germany or any other nation to take in Syrian refugees displaced because Americans are enamored with wars and spending on weapons.
