10 Years Later, Was the Iraq War Worth It?

It was followed by a longer phase of fighting, in which an insurgency emerged to oppose coallition forces and the newly formed Iraqi government.

"What is essential in war is victory, not prolonged operations."
"There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare." ~ Sun Tzu
Not at all. Innocent lives taken away, people suffering, and the war is still ongoing, making people infuriated, ready to retaliate; and all for what? profits?
The economy has crashed, people losing jobs, and education is declining.
The war was not worth it. Only the greedy rich benefit from this war.
