War in Iraq is lost on several levels

I read recently that malnutrition among Iraq's youngest children has doubled since the United States invaded them. Almost eight percent of children five years and younger don't have enough to eat.

Is this just one more acceptable cost of getting rid of Saddam Hussein? More than 1,000 American soldiers have died and some estimates, from the British medical journal The Lancet, put total deaths over 100,000. We've spent more than $100 billion, and the cost is rising rapidly.

Does anyone really win in a war?
