It depends on when you decide who wins.....This will not be a simple "we win" or "they win"

Is this a joke?

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson

If Iraq wins this war, then the USA was right all along. Saddam DOES have weapons of mass destruction.
You'd have to have one fierce fucking arsenal to beat the USA.
The USA will easily topple Saddam, but what then? Will it be worth it? How many more terrorists will this act breed? You know, one of the biggest drags on the USSR was the security needed to maintain the totalitarian regime. How expensive will USA's security get? We're at 400$ billion per year now. Roughly 10 times the amount it would take to eliminate world hunger, so I've heard. How many freinds would that win USA?

"You'd have to have one fierce fucking arsenal to beat the USA."
Tell that to the Vietcong.
In a traditional battle, yes. But I dont think this will be over quickly- it will ferment for quite some time after all the glitter from CNN is gone...

That's a good point.
Still, I think it's different now. No?
Vietcong had the USSR to give 'em whatever they needed right? What else? There's more.

Yeah, except for maybe the fact that we didn't kick the shit out of the Vietcong, impose sanctions, then go to kick the shit out of them for a second time.

that is what i was going to say.
no one wins. people will die and one side will accomplish a goal, but both lose. 
edit: iraq's forces will be defeated. hopefully a new ruling power will be established in iraq that will be more humane to its people, so that some benefit may come from this war.

To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

The point is, this war will rally more people to Bin Laden's cause. It is the best recruitment tool for Al Queda ever devised. This in turn will result in more terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens, which will in turn be used as an excuse for the U.S. government to further curtail civil liberties and become MORE of a police state, this will eventually create more Americans who hate and mistrust their own government. The bolded points are two that Osama Bin Laden has brought up. Bush's actions are playing right into his hands.

I guess only time will tell if UBL's vision is prophetic, or delusional. Until then it's all a matter of opinion.

It has nothing to do with being prophetic. It is about strategy and tactics. Osama Bin Laden is a superior strategist to Bush, he is fighting for his cause in a completely different way. Bush is stuck in strategic and tactical thinking from the 1900's, Bin Laden's way is the way of the 2000's. This is a different kind of warfare which our current military power and way of thinking are unable to effectively address. This will not end with the defeat of Iraq, it's occupation and 'Nation building.' This will play out over decades.

As I said, until anything happens, it's all a matter of opinion. You have yours obviously, and I have mine.
