    You got it all wrong, world is in crisis and superpower has responsibilty on behalf of all people who are struggling on their own coutries with facisim islamisim or whatever for that matter. Just take darfur for example, if world powers don't stop it that genocide won't stop. So we are instantly war with criminals which appointed as Presidents/Prime Minsters in their own countries and do nothing but expanding brutality and beyond barbarity.

    President Bush stated that the war in Afghanistan must continue or the country will become an asylum for drugs, terrorism and the organized crime. He says that we fight has toxic ideology of the Islamic extremism which threatens to become a total movement .

    Afghanistan now produces 90% of the world of 'opium of S; more than any other country. The trade of drugs bursting is the direct corollary of the invasion of the USA. Nobody denies even this. Bush created the world 'narco-colony of the S largest. Is this success?
    Then what about Israel And The Clash Of Civilisations?

    Considering that millions of Iraq citizens have been displaced to other countries and this article compares the normal life now in the US so therefore no war, ignores the tragedies in Iraq today. It also fails to address the enormous costs by the US which otherwise would have been available to help this normal life here.
    Lose of prestige around the world is another cost hard to quantify, but significant nonetheless. Other costs of this non war in Iraq include at least $1 trillion to pay for our wounded over the next 10 years. Other costs are for these returning military veterans into the population who are now trained to kill. The soldiers over there now feel they are in a real war and do ot need to come home and be told it was a non war.
