Its 2011, we went in 2003 and we're going to have to pay $1.9 trillion in costs for the war. The issue and legal ramifications of going in have divided not just Americans but the world. It not a UN sanctioned operation, it is a Nato mission but the US is the major player and not all Nato countries are assisting. Several non-Nato countries are.

My questions to you is why do you think we went in? Why have we stayed? Was it worth it? What does it mean for the future?

Because of my field of study and the people I get to talk to have come to have some answers that I think are rather legitimate but I want to see what other people think, or what the average person thinks.

If requested I can provide what the answers I have to these questions but I'd like to withhold them for the moment.
