Yes. We have succeeded in creating a democratically controlled country that is free from the tyranny of the Saddam Hussein regime.

No. The deaths of 4,469 American troops and the expenditure of $712.2 billion and counting were too high a price.

I don't know. I think it's going to take years to see whether what we did in Iraq has worked to our benefit.

1. Ah. That's quite high.

I wonder if the Pentagon's seen it?

2. Ah, the human cost was only in American lives.

I thought a few Iraqis died in the fracas as well.

There is a but, for all great news.
In this case it is the executions of gay men in Iraq’s prisons for being gay. If you believe that we should bring them home with us, act now. There is little time left for these men.
