The_Chieftain: Not really my position to say if it was worth it or not, as that
implies a cost/benefit calculation. The Iraqis I interacted with
seemed pretty solid people, worried more about their childrens'
futures, or getting a good price for vegetables down the local
market, and trying to enjoy life, than worrying about who was
running the country. To that end, I think they were better off for
our excursion than not. Of course, that is before one considers the
folks in Mosul, where I spent six weeks, who have been having a
rather lousy time of it the last couple of years, but the causes
for that are somewhat un-related. Is that future worth a year of my
life, and all the associated dollar and blood costs that have been
drained from the US? Who's to say?
