If you were a guy that had to go fight, then I'm sure you're going to question the purpose. If you are an Intel guy, who sees the big picture of what's going on, you'll probably have a different opinion. There was a large group of people who were trying to organize themselves so that they could come kill us. We have totally disrupted their ability to do that. That seems worthwhile to me. |

Trillions of dollars spent, civil liberties trampled and thousands of lives lost over more than a decade with no sure outcome yet? Worthwhile? No better way could be found? -- St. Paul, MN |

Trillions of dollars spent, civil liberties trampled and thousands of lives lost over more than a decade with no sure outcome yet? Worthwhile? No better way could be found? What would you suggest? Diplomacy with...who? The total cost of both Afghanistan and Iraq is just North of 2 trillion. That includes direct costs, the cost of replacing equipment, and even the cost of financing the effort in general. I don't know who's civil liberties you are talking about. My civil liberties have been unaffected. I flew into D.C. with my kids last Thanksgiving, when they had just rolled-out the body scanners and increased pat-down policies. There was a reporter in the terminal trying desperately to find somebody who had some terrible story or was upset about the intrusion on their privacy. She was going from one person to another asking very leading questions hoping somebody would be upset...she couldn't find a single person who cared. She interviewed me too. She asked me "as a father, does it bother you that your kids have to go through that body scanner and be seen by the TSA operator?"..."I saw that you received a random extra pat down, didn't that make you feel singled-out?". She was trying hard, but all I said was "As long as the TSA folks do their jobs in a professional manner, as they did, then I have no issue." Maybe you are talking about the civil liberties of the Iraqi people. They can now do all sorts of things that they could not do before, for fear of death. I think of comparing all of that cost in lives, and money, to somebody detonating a crude nuke in the middle of a major US city (which has clearly been one of their objectives), and yes...totally worthwhile. Many times over. Had they been left unimpeded, there is no doubt that Al Queda, Iran, some other group, or some combination thereof would find a way to get that done. As for no outcome, I'd say both Afghanistan and Iraq are moving toward a self-sustaining state. Iran is contained. Al Queda, its components, and loosly related other groups are unable to organize or gather resources to accomplish their goals. |
