It seems to me that the wars we've been involved in since say, 1946, and I mean the ones that have lasted longer than a holiday weekend, which rules out Grenada, we've been better off losing than winning or tying:
Korean War - It was a draw and we're still there, many billions of dollars later
Vietnam War - We lost and now their country has never been in better shape. We're one of their major trading partners, and furthermore, if we'd "won" we'd have spent many billions of dollars propping them up with financial aid these past 30 years
Desert Storm - We won this one, and then had to go back in 10 years later to, as we kept hearing the right-wingers say, "finish the job", which nicely leads us to the current
Iraq War - Did we win yet?
