Ten years of war in Iraq. $10 Billion Dollars. Countless maimed & killed American soldiers. NO WMD found. Worth it?
"Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land."
-- George H. W. Bush, in his 1998 memoir A World Transformed

Of course not.The ONLY Americans who came out of this mess looking good were those who served,their loved ones and the early anti war protestors(many of whom were beaten,arrested,discriminated against,spat on,fired,assaulted and had their patriotism attacked.)I know all of the above to be true.
If you were among the war supporters or voted for Bush,the blood of everyone is on your hands as well as our broken economy

No.. war never is. The sad part is, people still support the war.

I don't think we could let 9/11 go without some form of retaliation.

I suppose it is if you drive a gas powered vehicle. If you drive electric like us, you are much more concerned that Kentucky remains friendly to America. The reason for the war was because Iraq was attempting to seize all the oil in the Middle East, ALL OF IT. Once oil isn't a concern for Americans, neither is the Middle East.
For everyone concerned with Iraqi deaths, it is estimated by the UN that Saddam killed a over million of his own people, and raped and tortured hundreds of thousands more. I'm not saying that makes it right to go in and kill a bunch of Iraqi people, but something needed to be done to stop this monster.

I will agree to disagree with you on this matter. I've had too many brother and sister killed & maimed (as you put it) in Iraq. My opinion has no affect of the real reasons that we were there or the negative findings of WMD. By the way, the WMD story was just a ruse to get us there, it was the inability of the American people to see through the smoke that allowed it to happen. Not to say that we had any hand in the war efforts, just stating a fact.
As technology advances so do the price tags. Oh and war is war, no matter how you fight it, people will always die but the reasons of why they are dieing is the true travesty of it all. If they weren't dieing for out freedom, then ?

I guess since no one else is gonna say it... ok, so the evidence of absence is not evidently absent to evidently be.. no it was totally not worth it, even what 'good' came out of it.

Worth it to the people, like Haliburton, who got even richer than they already were from it. That's what it was for. And it cost hundreds of billions of $$, not just 10.

I was against the war before it even started because history repeated itself once again.
