Most agree the return on the money spent was well worth it.
From where do you derive that assumption? The same mythical place from which people support the current spending? Just because you justify a "War on Terror" as the intellectual benefit of financial idiocy doesn't mean everyone does.

I'm not trying to attack you, but the difference in budgetary balance between Clinton and Bush makes me irate when I consider how much of my money was wasted.

Even if I operated under the assumption that everyone supported our financial waste in Iraq and Afgahnistan, that wouldn't in any way defeat the argument that there are more cost-effective ways to destroy countries and take their oil.
