Worth it for whom?
For you and your way of life.

See, I'm trying to figure this one out.

While I firmly believe that the "terrorist threat" is very real and demands a definitive response, I'm not sure I agree with the method.

If we are to agree that the most immediate threat to Americans was Iraq, and if we are to agree that the use of military force was the appropriate response, then we must also consider the merits of our government's actions since the president announced that the major hostilities were over.

In my way of thinking, if iraq is our enemy, we should destroy them. Should have been done on or about September 12th or 13th 2001.

"Rebuilding" iraq is a waste of money.

Trying to win the hearts and minds of the iraqi people is a waste of time.

I compare this exercise in futility to the failed "great society" programs. I think history will prove both to be pointless.

Perhaps, I could be wrong. Certainly possible.

But I really am not yet convinced that Me and my way of life would be much different today, if we had simply turned back the clock on iraq to about 2000 B.C.
