Tom knows why we are there and knows it is a better price to pay than continue the previous policy of pretending to contain saddam and terror.
As bitter as the price is the alternative, as proven on 911, is far worse.
All you have for comfort is spam and historical rewrites to pretend the answer is different.
We are at war and have been at war since the early 90's.
The containment regime failed us miserably.
We are doing very well with the limited options at hand.
