In the end, IMO I don't think Iraq was worth it.
That is not a call for the American military forces to make, you volunteer and you take an oath. Agree, disagree, you do what was asked of you to the best of your ability.
The fault lies with our political leadership and the media

Without a doubt it is a worldwide epidemic..but you would all be shocked in exactly how many countries we are in...not necessarily military, but peace corps assisting with food...I don't know how much more we can do as far as man power....
The reason I harp on the Iraq topic is they went through a tyrant that (I cant recall the exact numbers) had them in gas chambers? Even though Saddam is gone...I think the concern is just to prevent that from happening AGAIN..hence the democracy talk from the pencil pushers. Maybe? No?..who knows, I am no Ivy league graduate.
