There are still American interests at stake. Everyone hates a preemptive strike but in many situations it is the right call.
I see Iraq not as a failed mission but currently incomplete. Setting up a forward position in a hotbox like the ME has great strategic value. And of course we'd want to set up a friendly (democratic) government so they let us build bases.
People can criminalize Bush for invading without WMDs and purely for his oil interests, the latter I see as quite unfounded. But if our presence in Iraq helps preempt a problem that could rage out of control, i.e. Israel and Iran over nukes, he may be written in the history texts as a great President.
