When is a war "worth it" to fight in?
Obviously depends on the situation. You'll always get screamers from both sides of the equation about whether or not it was "worth it". I think it's a relative term......relative to who you are asking.
Our company does quite a bit of business with Iraq and every now and then I'll be speaking with a new Iraqi on the phone and I'll ask them generally if the quality of life is better now or under Saddam. Almost always they will say it is better now despite the warring factions. New infrastructure, better country governance, updated schools etc etc. Of course, if you ask Joe Terrorist, he would not agree.

Most definitely agree, one positive about the Iraq War that no one can deny is that the United States removed a tyrant from power who had terrorized the Iraqi people for years. The main controversy with the Iraq War was that we invaded because Saddam was harboring nuclear weapons, and the official report is that none were ever found. Still, he was a dictator and his days were numbered.
