Will there ever be a time in the world when war is strictly a historical phenomenon?

Speak the truth.Say what you feel that has struck you the most in the past few years of war. Do you (still) support the cause? If you were George W. Bush, what would you do today regarding the war? I support our boys out there to the very last step. They're courageous and honorable.

Is it about WMD's. They were never found? I dont buy the story that they were magically beamed away to Syria or Lebanon. So what are we still doing there?
Is it about dposing Saddam? He has been deposed already, so what are we still doing there?
Is it about spreading democracy in Iraq? Iraq had three elections. The last one put in place a permanent government so the job is done. So what are we still doing there?
Is it about preventing civil war? 100 Iraqis die on a daily basis. Iraq is in a state of civil war and we were not able to prevent it? So what are we still doing there?
Is it about fighting terrorists who otherwise would be fighting us here? Iraq has been a breeding ground for terrorists so instead of diminishing their threat we have increased it a hundred fold? So why are still there?
Is it revenge for 9/11? Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. So why are still there?

Edit from BBC News:

Influential thinking on Iraq comes from US Col John Nagl's book ‘Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife’ (2002). The title paraphrases Lawrence of Arabia: "To make war upon rebellion is messy and slow, like eating soup with a knife."

The book compares the successful British campaign to stop communist insurgency in Malaya with the failure of Vietnam. Colonel Nagl argued: "The British army was a learning institution and the US army was not."

The difference said Nagl, was the British, unlike the Americans, employed "underwhelming force" as part of their strategy.

Col Nagl's ideas were amplified in Military Review (2005) by British Brig-Gen Nigel Aylwin-Foster, who served with the Americans in Iraq: "The US Army has developed over time a singular focus on conventional warfare, of a particularly swift and violent style, which left it ill-suited to the kind of operation it encountered [in Iraq]".

Our/American Soldiers seems to be the least qualified soldiers around the world! They killed innocent vietnamese in the My Lai massacre and they did the same, with a similar story, in the Haditha massacre!
When they came back from Vietnam, didn't they complain that we were spitting on them... well, I guess we will spit again and again until one day we'll be having good, reliable soldiers who can do their job properly... not some baby killers!!

The question is, how much spit can a soldier's face contain?

(I know most users here are uneducated about the war, so search about My Lai and Haditha before answering or defneding the useless "freedom" fighters)

They try to put a good spin on Iraq but the truth is Iraq did not do 9-11. Iraq does not have WMD. Iraq is no threat to the USA. Do you agree the Iraq war is wrong?

Muslum insuregents kill our troops but if a civilian gets killed, the US powers threaten to punish the Fine men & women that put their lives on the line!! If they were savages like the Nazis were, I could understand but that's not the case!

Inviting guerrilla insurgents and terrorists to blind-side American troops in Iraq was the single most asinine remark any American president has ever made.

At least Mr Bush did say he made a mistake by saying that. Why? Because the Insurgents are hurting the USA Troops.

I just recently started cutting again but the doctor didn't say anything about the few light scars. But in the hospital apprentice program, they probably know about cutting. Do they check? What if you get caught?
