Seven years, over 100,000 lives lost and one trillion dollars later one question has yet to be answered regarding the American war in Iraq.
Who won?
Wouldn't it have made more sense to have just given Saddam Hussein 10 or 20 billion dollars to leave Iraq?

As a matter of fact... it would have. You actually put a new perspective on this, and that's something no one has done in a long time. I wish that our goal in being there really was to get him out, but hey we do revisionist history right here.
@Dwane T.
Yeah I know that there were other motives beside getting Hussein out. Like creating a government in Iraq that would give drilling rights to American oil companies.
But we Americans aren't ever going to get a cut of that so all we have to show for our tax dollars is deposing a dictator.
Val:This question is so important that you asked,the reason why there will be no answer and more wars to come is because there is not a personal connection for the majority of people in this country.
@BigMac
You're are def right about the disconnect. When wars are fought thousands of miles from home people never see what war is really about.
It would have made even more sense to just leave him the fuck alone and spend that money on our educational system.
@Reggie
No Reg, that makes too much sense.
@Reggie: Real talk!
