Poll: Most Americans Say War Not Worth It
(CBS/AP) One the eve of the five-year anniversary of the start of the war with Iraq, Americans continue to think the results of the war have not been worth the loss of American lives and the other costs of attacking Iraq, according to a new CBS News poll.
Today 29 percent of Americans say the results of the war were worth it; 64 percent say they were not...

29% of Americans are morons?
They need to be hunted down and their butts kicked on the next plane for Iraq or Afghanistan. Go fight and die you bunch of cowards.
And they're the same ones who bellyache about the price of gas.
So what else is new?
Well, if the consensus of opinion is that this war is not worth it, then another solution is to have a war that is worth it.
No one can tell me that in this entire world there aren't potential enemies that would make a war worthwhile?
I believe part of the problem is that there are too few Iraqis in the U.S. to sway public opinion, that the war is worth it. Does this reflect a possibility that many people don't realize that there may be a sentiment of anti-Iraqism amongst some people? We perhaps need a remake of Schindler's List, but this time Schindler is in pre-war Iraq, saving Iraqis.
And, I don't understand what makes a war worth it, or not worth it? Is any war worth it, if it spreads democracy and freedom?
The war is the most idiotic thing in a world teeming with idiotic things.

One guy by name Claire Gills has this view about war.
" Instead of the Government taking over Industry,
when the war broke out, Industry took over the Government"
This is the exact state of affairs in USA
