2. let's see--billions of dollars "disappeared", a treasure trove of history destroyed, millions

displaced, infrastructure destroyed, tremendous numbers of wounded in addition to the dead--and the hate0mongers who created it walking free and proud and ready to do it again.

3. Well sure, if you want to get all picky and stuff. But it's much more important to look forward.

After all, what could possibly be gained form such quaint ideas as enforcing the law or making people take responsibility for their actions. Besides, they did it all with the best intentions and it's not like we're talking about anybody that really matters anyway.

4. A lot defense contractors accomplished making boat loads of cash at the tax payers expense.

5. Well, this country's reputation was completely destroyed.

Halliburton, Cheney, and Bush the Dumber got much, much richer. Thousands of Americans died. Millions of Iraqis died. Our economy was dealt a crippling blow.
