All war costs in terms of material treasures and the greatest treasure of all, the young lives that are snuffed out before they can achieve their potential. People on both sides lose loved ones. And, even for the victors there is the spiritually brutalizing impact of the wanton destruction of life that makes people crazy.

You clearly have a fallacy in your logic-- you're going to be more specific if you want to really get good answers. I'm not sure what you mean exactly by asking this, but I'm going to do my best to answer you.
I'll make it simple: In a war, there are always going to be casualties, whether to the losing side or those who are victorious. Both are going to suffer loss; that's what war is. But it's not like they died without cause. When on the brink of a war, you begin to figure out there are some things in life that are worth fighting for. Remember those thousands who died on 9/11? It's worth a price to keep that from happening again. Remember how Saddam Hussein killed thousands of his own people? Isn't it worth it to give those people a chance to live their lives without being afraid of being shot or decapitated? And you can't deny that it's worth it to eliminate the chance of that happening to our people here in our beloved land of the free and home of the brave.
There is good in this world, but it doesn't come without a price.

The USA won WW11 because we had great leaders,, and the American citizens were with their president (FDR),,,
we can't win George W. Bush's war in Iraq,, because it was morally wrong, lying to go to war,, he keeps claiming he supports our troops on the ground,, what about after they come home,,, who will support them now,,,,
In Afghanistan we are losing because all our troops should have been there in the first place,, instead of hovering on the border of Pakistan,, the Taliban have been regrouping all this time that we have been bogged down in Iraq,,, and, Musharraf standing with Bush, in the American peoples White House,, trying to sell his book,,, good god almighty,, who couldn't see through that piece of work?
after the Bin Laden attack on 9-11,, the Bush team knew they could not stop him so they ran in another direction,, the wrong one,, like the fraidy cats they are,, "good ole boys",, trying to do the job of MEN,,,, CLINTON TRIED<< BUSH LIED,,,,,
The Bush doctrine is failing,,, George W. is a foolish man,, Dick Cheney is worse,,, their Fascists,,,, Republicans keep wanting to follow them into damnation,, more mistakes are occurring now... today,,, as I write.......... as you read,,,,
Wars usually happen because of a lack in communication,,,
we all know that this president is not a communicator,,
he is a divider that wants to be the decider,, the US dictator,,
he talks to God, but does he listen,, or learn,, NOOOOO!,,
War is Hell, especially when your losing like the US of A,,,
I wish it were different,, wishing won't make it so,,,,
and the reality bites....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SEUSS !

America would win if we do this...
Not only should we stay in Iraq, but we need to send more troops, but not only to Iraq, but to all of the countries that the insurgents are coming from. I'm not saying that we need to start a war with these countries (not saying we shouldn't either) but we need to occupy them to exterminate those who threaten our way of life, or would threaten it if they had the chance. When only those who are on our side are left, we then start to slowly withdraw. Even if this starts WW3, it would be worth it, to keep America on top of the world. Basically I am saying to not only send more troops to Iraq, but to also increase the entire war, adding more nations to both a watch list and a hit list.

There are winners. We won in WWII. We weren't taken over by Hitler. I consider that winning. We paid a terrible price but we really didn't have a choice.

Depends on the war and in the definition of win.
I believe the war is full of people making a lot of money, they are winning.

Someone will win. Too bad our elected leaders want it to be the enemy.
