text: what are the consequences of the war in iraq on america? there is obviously no real strategy to leave iraq in a peaceful manner...but what are the long-term ramifications of the war on america. what consequences do we have to face? it has ruined families, cause pain, loss, it has eroded out moral standing in the world and hasdegraded our self image of being a people concerned with justice and truth.  we now have to watch our people torture and kill all for the elite of this country and the sad part is the benefits for the people of this country are nothing, nothing.  the profits of those who would never serve is great.  so who loses, us and the iraqis.
