What lessons learned from Iraq War? #tellusatoday

We asked on Twitter: What lessons should the U.S. have learned from the Iraq War? Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

We should have left Iraq alone and stayed out of it. War doesn't really solve anything.

U.S. should learn that promoting ideals for democracy and executing a plan to sustain democracy are not the same thing.

— @dc_fusion

We should have learned that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, yet we invaded the country. People still don't realize that.

— @TonyTheMacUser

The news media should always report the truth, regardless of who is in the White House and telling them to do otherwise.

— @edvonbargen

Trust but verify.

— @mahornbaker

I'm hoping we learned not to meddle in another country's internal affairs, but probably not.

— @DukeofBayRidge

Wars based on lies lose public support.
