So the question has to be asked, what exactly has been achieved beyond killing a lot of people, combatants and noncombatants alike, and blowing up buildings? Same regime is firmly in place and the populace is even more repressed and suffering.

(14,344 posts)once you start a war (or get in it, for that matter) it's almost impossible to get out. JFK and LBJ both wanted to get out of Vietnam, and look where it got them. Bobby too. Darth Cheney got us into Iraq and what did it do for Shrub? Shitler is too stupid to get it.
