How much better off would the US, Afghanistan and the rest of the world be if we had stopped after invading Afghanistan?

It's incredible to think of all the benefits.
1. Getting back the lives lost in Iraq.
2. Getting back the billions spent in Iraq.
3. The entire world not hating us. That'd be nice.
4. A much better chance we would have actually caught OBL.
5. A far smaller chance of terror attacks at home and abroad.
6. A strong, capable military with some combat experience.
7. A more stable Afghanistan
8. A successful and peaceful democracy in the ME.


Instead, we get the foreign policy debacle we are in today.
