Maybe the Iraq war will one day pay dividends. Maybe yes, maybe no.

There was a big post war economic boom after WWII. Maybe the same thing will happen when the dust settles in Iraq, causing a Middle East renaissance. Maybe oil prices will stabilize or drop a bit.

Let's hope so.

One thing is for sure: the Dems social plans will NEVER pay dividends. Handouts will always lead to more poverty. The poverty pimps will continue to bleed the system for all eternity. A trillion dollars for a war? LOL. Decades of those big government handouts and their further destruction of our country's competitiveness will make a trillion dollars look like chump change.
