Gilly,

I don't know how you really count win or lose in a war?

In ww2 we toppled a God Japan. We got rid of Hitler. El DUCE is no
longer in power and with the aid of the Truman Doctrine we rebuilt the
infrastructure of Europe.

Even in Iraq, Saddam is no longer in power.

If you mean a victory means destroying a country and enslaving its
people, that isn't the USA way


Victory = instilling the classic liberal ideals of individual liberty.

WWII:

Japan made free.

1/2 of Germany set free.

Italy set free.

Soviet Union = bigger and stronger

China = becomes Communist

1/2 Europe = Commie control

50 million people killed.

Spain = not liberated.

The argument can be made that WWII was a wash at best.

We must beware of the future. For the rotten seed of Nazism is still
implanted. And perhaps under some other name or some other guise it could
sprout again:
