The point is that one day does not make all the lives lost worth it. What might make them worth it is a government in Iraq showing compassion to all ethnic and religious groups (that means you too, sunnis). What might make this worth it is for the new Iraqi government becoming it's own country, free from America in every way. What Might make this worth it is Iraq becoming a beacon for peace, and an example to all the other regimes in the area. What might make it worth it is for Iraq to lead by example, but not to incite bloody rebellions in the Middle East.
The anti-war movement was not wrong. Actually, an anti-war movement is rarely wrong. What would have happened if the anti war movement stopped Vietnam? Korea? Panama? We are better off without war. The only time we should see war happen is if it is the absolute last resort. There were better ways to go about removing Saddam from power, ways that would kill no innocent civilians or brave soldiers.
