Americans finally waking up...
"The number of Americans who do not believe it was 'worth it' going to war in Iraq continues to grow, now reaching 57% of the public, according to a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll. Just 41% say it was worth it.
Asked how things are going for the United States in Iraq, 56 percent said "badly" or "very badly," up from 45 percent in March.
These growing concerns come despite the Iraqi elections, which had seemed to many a positive step forward. There has been a recent upsurge in violence in Iraq."
Hindsight is always better, but most yellow dogs knew this pre-emptive war was not worth it--and that the WMD rationale was bogus--long before we sent our troops to Iraq. And the cost, both in the billions of dollars that are going to Iraq instead of education, healthcare, etc. in the U.S.--and, more importantly, the cost in terms of lives lost--have definitely not been worth it.
