With Saddam out of business, Afghanistan ALMOST rid of the Taliban and Usama, North Korea exposed, Libya coming to the table, Iran on the verge of a revolution favoring the people, the war on terrorism as a real defense "of the world", you're damn right we're better off.
Is it costly? Yes, but not more costly than Clinton's plan of leaving Usama to fight another day, that day being 9-11.
Hope you understood that my outrage was directed at the poser of the disingenuous question.
Damned liberal media hacks are always pushing phony pre-spun opinion polls because anything even remotely straight-forward would be the death of their political agenda.
