That's easy. Gas is only $4.00 a gallon in CA., (as opposed to ~$1.60 before bungled invasion), and the U.S. dollar is now worth slightly less than a Canadian dollar for the first time in memory. Also, the second great depression in the U.S. is only just getting started thanks to the $12B @ month being wasted in Iraq and the rest of our currency being shipped-out to China and OPEC. I almost forgot Mexico, silly me. Few hundred million goes there, after it is earned here tax-free.
From the neocon perspective, there is plenty of room for "improvement" in all of these areas, especially the goal that they share w/ OBL of a wider regional conflict in the ME. Both think that it will be "defining". And both are sicker than a rabid skunk and need to be killed.
