We agree on this!

I don't think citizens should blindly trust in any government or administration.

As Sklansky would say it is not important to have the right answer but to have the right reason for the answer. If you dont prioritize and analyze the reasons offered by the admin for any policy you cannot judge the effectiveness of the administration. It is irrelevant whether a) you agree with the policy for other reasons or b) whether the program run by the administration was a success.
Your defense of the administration appears to boil down to your belief that the war was a good idea for humanitarian reasons. That is fine as far as it goes. However, the administration and you have had far different reasons for going to war -- that should be bothersome at a minimum, specially as the reasons offered in the first instance have been totally discredited. And the way the war was sold by the administration has been shown to be deceitful
