#1 "Was it worth it" > FREEREPUBLIC Poster > USA + WOrld is approaching an uncertain and unstable time period in our existence, and we'll be lucky to just survive/live through it.

#2 The implication in this meme shift would be that we are currently making headway in achieving our objectives there.

The MSM might be forced to repeat the cold hard statistics that Iraq is becoming less dangerous lately, but one sentence you will never hear them say is, "America is winning the war in Iraq".

The MSM, like the nutroots and the Democrats, has too much invested in U.S. failure there.

#3 "Was it Worth It"?

Which will be largely an unanswerable question unless you can identify the place you're coming from.

For a lot of us, having seen the works of the post-Marxists, nativists and general American bashers of Europe and Korea, we're having a great deal of trouble thinking those efforts were 'worth it' either.

However, it leaves those, who pontificate we shouldn't meddle in other peoples problems outside our borders, to try to rationalize why we should therefore be concerned with peoples problems inside our border, if they themselves consider nativism to be equitable to racism.

#4 The problem, or advantage, of the Was it worth it? argument is that we don't really know what the alternative was. And many times it would have been much worse than anyone will allow.

#5 Expect the '08 Democrat election rhetoric to shift away from the war and terrorism, and straight to the standard Democrat boilerplate of "healthcare, education, the widening gap between the poor and the rich"

They will also focus on the environment and global warming and increased governmental regulation while at the same time trying to keep quiet the fact that taxes are increasing to finance everything.
