Victory in Iraq?

Home More advice Politics & Law

What exactly is "victory in Iraq"? I am not an anti-war protester or anything, but I have been confused about this war. We all now know that there was no connection prewar between Iraqi government and the Al Qeda, we all know there is no WMD's. What is left to "win". Aren't we just killing militant civilians getting revenge for their families being killed? Didn't we capture Sadaam? Didn't we "establish" a government for them? What is left to win? Terrorists that hate Americans now have an easy trip to go and kill some without having to travel across any oceans. We know that the terrorists are not from Iraq and they are coming into Iraq constantly creating an endless supply of people to kill Americans. The more Suni Muslims we kill will only enrage more muslims. If it is the goal of the US to kill all the Suni's then America will have to commit genocide to over half the planet's population considering that this branch of Islam is the largest and it is the absolute largest religion in the world. So is "Victory" just blowing up the earth? Who can justify this war? I understood Vietnam's purpose. I don't understand this one.
