I'm sorry you feel that way Kaoru. I actually feel it a bit complimentary of the U.S. in this one specific instance. In a time where the country is otherwise reknown for its penchant for the act first (on poor intel) and think later, this is a positive sign. Now, if folks elect to take this as an opportunity to rehash old mistakes, then I think that's a waste, but I posted it initially out of the kind of surprise one has when something unexpected happens. (or in this case, doesn't). If nothing else, it may eke out a little positive thinking in this brief moment for a nation that otherwise could use a bump in the foreign policy department.
