If your loved one died in Iraq, would you say it was worth it?

I have seen a number of interviews of family members who had loved ones die in Iraq. Most all say, "They died for a noble cause, promoting democracy." I think that this makes them feel better -- that they didn't die in vain.

I can not imagine saying it was worth it, if I was in their situation. I would be angry at the government and bitter (hey, I am like that all the time anyway). Actually, I probably would do everything I could so that they wouldn't go in the first place.

I think their approach may make them feel better, but until they start getting mad and take the "we're angry and we're not going to take it anymore" approach - we will probably be in Iraq forever.
