- Dead People and Success?
Pink, who in the world can possibly answer that question?
How many dead people were justified for us to succeed in World War II? the Civil War? the Revolution?
If Abraham Lincoln knew that 620,000 Americans would die horribly between 1861 and 1865 - if he had known that in 1861 - should he have moved ahead to stop the South from seceding?
Should George Washington have surrendered in December 1776 if he knew the American Revolution were going to drag on for EIGHT long years?
The first question to ask is: Is our cause just? Second question: Is our strategy effective? And then, the third question: Is it worth it?
I think the answers to these questions for Iraq are.... YES, NO, and NO (if it's going to be 'stay the course' on the same strategy).
