The problem of comparing, what was done vs the result, to what could have been done is that result of the second is speculation

Perhaps a little speculation and, dare I say it, foresight, might have prevented rather a lot of bloodshed.....oh sorry, there was speculation and an attempt at foresight, but it was ignored by the American and allied governments in their headlong rush into a 'desirable' war.
How many people predicted exactly this? How many intelligence and military experts argued that this was a mistake? How much intelligence was found to have been erroneous, and worse still,
known to be erroneous?
