Significant Emotional Events

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?
