I respectfully disagree...
From a pragmatic or realistic standpoint what have we accomplish?
We removed a madman worse than hitler and installed a voting democracy...
lost lives
We lost 3000 soldiers in 4 years, in the same 4 year period at home we lost more than 200,000 lives to traffic accidents, we lose more than 50,000 lives each year to traffic deaths in the U.S.... let me remind you, we lost more than 8000 Marines on Iwo Jima in just three weeks and far more than that on the beaches on one D-Day morning...
lost world esteem
Thanks only to the in-house bickering and Bush bashing by Americans at home, and all for political gain, this is shameful...
more and more terrorist
They were always there, they merely needed a cause to take up arms... spraying a dark corner with bug spray doesn't create the roaches, it only brings them out where you can see them...
much higher oil prices
Higher energy prices are not due to the war, higher energy prices are due to China's and India's remarkable growth and development over the past 5 years, check the stats on them...
that's what makes terrorist!
What makes terrorists are the leaders of the arab countries, they live in palaces while the townsfolk live in tents, the poor are oppressed, children are starving, women can't vote or go to school, and in school they teach hatred towards America... that's what makes terrorists...
