Did we win or lose? Are we winning or losing?

I believe we are losing because I feel ever since 9/11, our country hasn't held a steady balance when it comes to economy. I understand that we have the need to attack after 9/11, but I feel we are just digging a bigger hole for America to climb out of. We have been in war with Iraq for quite some time and I believe America isn't gaining much good from it. The amount of deaths increases every day. Is it worth it?
