While I would like to make it clear I recognize the limitations of my vantage point, I would say the two wars were not worth it. While there is a lot more to those wars than revenge for 9/11, I think the cost of life, the cost of subsequent emotional and physical damage of those involved directly, and the economic costs, far outweigh the benefits. I think, as usual, only a handful of people gained real benefit at the cost to the majority.
If the only goal was to see one man dead ( Bin Laden) I would agree that two wars were not worth it.

If the goal is to dismantle the organization of terrorism that Bin Laden was a part of for the future lives and safety of the targets of their terrorism , I wouldn't.

Go ahead, tread on me.
