Worth the cost?
Let's us pretend that Iraq adopts a constitution not unlike that of Iran: candidates eligibility determined by election officials, Women regulated to second class status, religion being constitutionally fundamental law, etc. If this comes to pass, would the war have been worth it?
It is true that Saddam is a monster, and allowing his evil to dominate a State was an abomination. Yet if our worst fears of an Iranian-based Iraqi constitution come to pass, might we merely be setting the stage for another Saddam-like figure to arise? If that does come to pass, I have to wonder why our men and women are dying over there...
