I don't see how anyone can 'win' a war, unless it's a bloodless one. Everybody loses.

wars are pointless and will always be pointless...its a political battle most wars are..but its all for nothing..we are living in a world that is doomed and no matter how many wars are fought or not fought..it wont change the directions that this world is headed in...the devil runs this world and that's why wars are abundant in it...GOD gave us free thinking to choose what we would like to do and what we think is best..but we as humans choose to destroy each other..think bout it...when you have a problem with another person if you were to be violent with that person you would go to jail ..but if "AMERICA" has a problem..we bomb them..so whats the difference...NOTHIN...u cant tell someone not to smoke then light up a cigarette while you are saying it...and "AMERICA" cant tell us not to be violent then go off and bomb a freaking country

Most wars are fought for the interests of the few powerful and secret men behind the scenes, while the general population is manipulated into thinking it is about some evil threat from outside. The few and powerful benefit greatly while the vast majority pays with their lives and property. It is a sad tale and as weapons and tech improve, the devastation promises to increase for the masses. Your question's answer depends on who you are asking about, the few or the many. For one it is yes, for the other a resounding no.

Wars are always lose lose for the general population, how those in pwere on both sides always seem to end up for the better. I long for the good old days when you would follow your leader into battle, not someone hidding so far underground a nuclear explosion wouldn't hurt them.

Depends what you're fighting for. If you're fighting for freedom, liberty, and end to tyranny, then it is worth fighting for.
“Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” – Patrick Henry
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse … A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice – is often the means of their regeneration." -- John Stuart Mill

Yes and No. Each side looses man and resources. However, one side or another will gain the goal they went to war to achieve. Just a matter of what side wins.

655,000 Iraqi dead, 3000 Americans dead, many, many on both sides wounded and maimed for life, much of the country destroyed by bombs. I don't see a win in that for anybody, I wonder if trying to force democracy on this country is worth it.

Not necessarily. Israel gained land. Pakistan fought wars with India and gained part of Kashmir.

not necessarily. Each war has its own set of issues on both sides and it own dynamics. To group them all together in comparison is irresponsible and short sighted.

Blood shed is never a winner.
