Even if we win in Iraq, was it worth it?

Question

Should Iran, and North Korea be next?

Answer 1

nope 3000 lives gone and still adding more. soildiers missing their births of children, holidays, family members funerals.

Answer 2

It not abt u n i think, it's abt the system, n it's politics. It's not abt winning or loosing, it's abt income. USA government has spend lot of money in making arm n weapon, so they cannot just keep and waste the money. to used this weapon they don't have other choice then go to war. War brings money, they destroy and rebuilt it, they show the money they spend but never show how much they r earning fm OIL. USA is only looking for oil, if they have it and can control it they become the most powerful and richest country in the world. So it worth it.

Next can be IRAN ................ but not NORTH KOREA coz it don't have oil there nor any income.

Answer 3

First of all we have to look at the syntax of this question.

We will not win in Iraq. I know I been there I know what it is like, and it is a country that is too corrupt for a outside influence to control, therefore no matter what we do, we will not win.

And then the second part of the question, was it worth it, absolutely not. The devastation that has been brought to america, not by 9/11, but by the adverse actions and reactions of the deaths of thousands of both military and civilian alike, are more than what we should be willing to loose. It was a ruse created by the current administration that has brought us "american's and all other countries that have lost members to this war" to this point in time. Let it be known that we historians look back in time to this once great civilization they will ponder what was its downfall, and all of them will come to the conclusion that it was the actions performed by this administration that resulted in america's eventual demise.

Answer 4

Let's Define "Win" first.
A win would be a stable, Iraqis run, USA friendly government in the Middle East.

The value is in a friendly presence. Much like starting friendly relations with Japan after WWII. It gives us a jumping of point in a region long used for terrorist activity, much like the forward deployed military in Japan has given us a "theater presence".

But let us assume we lose, certainly polotics within the U.S. lead us to believe this is the likely end.

Saddam Hussein and his regiem are responsible for the murder of nearly 1 million people. Iranians, Kurds, and Iraqis!

He has murdered, raped, and tortured hundreds of thousands of his own people. I have met a few who survived to tell (though few do), I have seen the mass graves. This wasn't Abu Ghraib, where men were stripped naked and made to see naked women, this was violent, vulgar, and usually deadly. (Please don't misunderstand, what happened at Abu Ghraib should not have happend, we as Americans must hold a higher standard).

If this is a loss, the world is rid one more evil man.... Should another regime who kills relentlessly take his place, that will be the true loss

Answer 5

There is no winning in a situation like Iraq. Its just another Vitnam. We didnt need to get involved. Bring my man home, where he belongs. Enough is enough.

Answer 6

Have you ever stopped to compare the death count of all our other wars>? 3000 is nothing compared to that. The men who were sent there signed up for the Army and knew what they were getting in to

Answer 7

if iraqis start governing themselves instead of being goverened by someone with his nose in an obsolete book 1400 years old...then yes

Answer 8

if we don't follow through there will be major repercussions look what happened after we swept it under the rug during bills day

Answer 9

I honestly don't know. But like you, I keep thinking, what could possibly be next. (and I don't think it will be a good thing)

Answer 10

To our elected politicians , it definitely is worth it. They sanctioned it, didn't they?
