Gambling has the potential to be either a losing or a winning proposition. In the instance of Iraq the invasion was something of a gamble. The only real gain, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime, is overwhelmed by the losses in life and property. The chaos and suffering that is Iraq today is far worse than the circumstance under the former repressive regime.
“Staying the course” as President Bush and his advisors continue to suggest is just bringing more misery and more lost lives. This war is a losing gamble. The sooner we admit our mistake and bring our troops home the sooner we can hope to begin a winning course. We have no more children to lose neither our own nor Iraqi.
