Conveniently, I was against the war from the start even though I was about 10-11.
I mean when you define listening to brittany spears songs for 24 hours straight as torture
It is. This isn't some "heh, she SUCKS" comment, but it is. It sounds kind of absurd when you're sitting on the internet typing it, I know.

Note that psychological torture is a real thing. I mean i doubt my random internet links will convince you, but it is.
Moreover, how else do you propose that we get information out of terrorists? Give them permanent US citizenship and a job at Boeing?
It sounds absurd but things like this actually work a lot better than torture, which doesn't.
So for clarification's sake. If Iraq becomes a peaceful democracy and rises from the ashes of being a 3rd world country within the next 20 years as a result of US involvement. Was it worth it?
It's a trick question
It's an utterly absurd hypothetical, because it won't. It will likely stay shitty, largely thanks to not only the war but our terrible reconstruction practises.
