I know that some people believe that any war is a defeat. I will agree that all wars are immoral. However, sometimes a war becomes necessary. We could've stayed out of the fray by refusing to help the British and Russians defeat Hitler, but would that have been a victory?

Actually agree with you here. We just are not in the situation where war is justifiable in Iraq.
