We have successfully reordered the world and put organized terror on its heels. Now nearly all Middle East governments are supporting our war on terror, and the US is respected, if not "loved" by our previously false allies.

This entire policy was always driven by the distinct, very real and very imminent possibility of nuclear terror on our continent; never really from Iraq, but certainly from Al Quaida and its Saudi-Arab-Islamist allies. That possibility has now been VERY GREATLY DIMINISHED.

What price should we put on protecting our people from nuclear fire and the destruction of our nation and culture? $300 Billion seems like a real bargain.

I agree... I think in the long run it is going to be better. Yes it is expensive but war is not cheap.
