I can't believe that average Americans can't see through this charade.
It's kind of like, "We can't stop now because the 2,500 Americans who gave their lives would have died in vain."
As if throwing another 2,500 lives would somehow bring them back to life.
Was it worth the cost?
I say NO!!!
But I'm ready to hear from those that think it is, and of course, real reasons, no dancing...just the facts Jack.

People see through it but they don't care. It doesn't affect their lives. They have been very clever of making it appear like there is no war going on. No sacrifice was made by anyone. I wrote an op-ed piece for the Middle East edition of Stars and Stripes and the responses I got from most soldiers was that they felt americans just didn't care.
