Was The Iraq War Worth It?


Has the Iraq War been worth the price paid is the questioned asked by Jeff Lukens, over at American Thinker?

American Thinker: June 2, 2008

I was particularly intrigued with Lukens piece when he pointed out the similarities with President Lincoln and America's struggles during the Civil War, which was the theme of a piece I did in 2007 (American Reflections). If we have learned nothing about history it is that it cannot be judged by the headlines of the day, and that is even more true today because of the liberal bias in the media.

President Bush will not be the only one judged by history regarding Iraq. What about America as a whole? Or how about the actions of the liberals, or the nations who did not support this mission? History will judge all of our actions and inaction's. How do you think we will fare?

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right."
