As the ongoing quagmire in Iraq attests.

Out of necessity the first generation of Neocon ideologues the the
Bush administration gave way to more practical types who actually
had some idea what they were doing. One of the revolutionary new
approaches was (of course) spreading lots of money around. You are
expecting calm to continue once the flow of dollars dries up, are
you? That is funny.

What is funny is your definition of quagmire. Iran is rid of the
terrorists, on its way to becoming a full fleged democracy that
responds to the needs of its citizens and our Marines are coming
home victorious. Some quagmire.

Yes, quagmire. Iraq, which had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11,
has so far cost the country about 700 billion dollars. The final
total will of course be much higher. Not to mention the the thousands
of dead Americans, and the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis if
anyone is still pretending to care about them.

Somethings are worth the cost.

You are insane. This boondoggle is going to cost over a trillion dollars
by the time all is said and done. It so pissed off the rest of the
world, and especially the Middle East, that if anything it encouraged
terrorism rather than prevented it. The place is going to go to shit the
second the US leaves. Wars are investments. This one was a total loss.

What did it cost the French to help us colonist to win our freedom and
set up our democracy? Are there things more important than money?
