"With the U.S. ending major combat operations in Iraq, do you think the war has been worth the effort?"



Yes - it has made us safer 11.8%
No - it cost too much in blood and money 71.9%
Maybe - it depends on how Iraq progresses from here 16.3%

2. 'mission accomplished' how many billions were stolen and how many lives snuffed

war crimes....as blatant as ever

3. I love how the No option is not a denial of the Yes option, but centers on objections of cost

It doesn't deny that the "objective" in Iraq was a good thing, it just makes No voters look like they too selfish to pay the cost for a good thing. Microsoft media : programming you for war.

4. Seriously! "Yes" and "No" are self-explanatory answers to a specific question.

5. I think the real question is will seeing that war as not worth it stop the next "not worth it" war?

6. I wonder how a similar poll will look when we get booted out of Afghanistan.

7. Some great comments

All we did was underfund our own schools and hospitals so that we could afford to wreck Iraq's. There are now more terrorists who hate us.

This was the Bush/Cheney vendetta paid for by the blood of young Americans.
