We didn't win WW2, because when it was over China was overrun by a repressive communist regime, and Eastern Europe was occupied by a repressive soviet communist regime. About all we saved were a few countries along the edge. We couldn't even get Israel right, they got a country but almost immediately they were at war, and they still are, with their neighbors.
It's like we are still fighting world war 2. Then there's Korea, we started THAT war in 1950 and it's still going. Vietnam is over ONLY because we surrendered, or else I bet they'd still be split in 2.
The 1st gulf war never really ENDED, we had 12 years of violations and threats and shots at our airplanes and then we had to go in again and we're still stuck.
Somalia "ended" because we lost, Lebanon didn't end even when we pulled out, and we are still going in Serbia.
So "winning" wars isn't really the norm for us, in the sense people want us to win. We WON THE WAR IN IRAQ ALREADY, Saddam is gone, a new regime is in place that isn't looking to kill us or sell oil to fund terrorists.
But the war didn't end.
"Then there's Korea, we started THAT war "
We invaded South Korea?
