I think the breaking up of Christ's Church into the various denominations was Satan's greatest victory. I ALSO believe that God USED that action to provide a variety of paths to Him that are still through Jesus. So now everyone can find their most comfortable path to Him with confidence.\nSo to Satan: HAH!

The Battle of Franklin- it broke the back of the Confederacy and allowed the Union to gain the upper hand and concerted on one front.\n\nThe reelection of Lincoln- If he had not been reelected General McClellan would have sued for peace.\n\nThe Battle of Five Forks it allowed Petersburg to fall and made Lee leave the trenches.\n\nThe failure of France and England to intercede on behalf of the South, like Iraqi the wealthiest 10 % of the population cause and keep the war going, the South were winning to give up slavery but not with someone demanding it.\n\nThe technology advancements such as the submarine, rifled muskets, balloonist, telegraph which coincides with the loss of manpower in the South forcing after the War innovations to improve labor.\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People.

Absolutely correct, buddy. Exactly the same as Vietnam, declare victory and then pull out. But there's still victory in Iran and North Korea, yet.

Not as good as ours but effective. We have a huge advantage on the seas. We have a larger, more advanced, and better equipt navy. Our Army has the Abrahm's tank which was designed to kill Russian tanks, so it is almost impossible for them to kill. We actually have body armor, better infantry equiptment, better mechanized forces. Our fighter Aircraft are about 30 years more advanced than the other two. Starting with the f-15 The most powerful fighter ever, capable of shooting 6 missles at one press of a button. F-18 best navy fighter big payload and strong Air to Air capabilities. Artilery we have the Radar equipt artilleries which have immense range and impact. Missles we've got the cruise missle capable of carring nuclear warheads launched from navy and air. Best Nuclear arsenal in the world Subs with the capability to destroy any country in the world by itself. But china has alot of Men that is all they have against us. Russia is dead scared of us we are so much more powerful than them both.\n\nJust wait for the F-22 and the JSF the two best fighters ever made to hit the battlefield. And we've got the B-1 and stealth aircraft.

Pyrrhic victory &#92;PIR-ik&#92;, noun:\nA victory achieved at great or excessive cost; a ruinous victory. \nTechnically it was a victory for the British, who attacked the patriot fortifications -- but a Pyrrhic victory if ever there was: out of 2,200 British soldiers 1,034 were killed or wounded, including one in nine of all the officers the British lost in the whole war.\n-- Geoffrey Wheatcroft, "A Revolutionary Itinerary", The Atlantic, April 2001

No one besides muslims have so much courage and stamina.therefore we won the war. \nThis wasnt just survival.Becoz Israel could have wiped out lebanon but it was just their wrong idea about muslims and hence small numbered hebollah gave a tough fight to the mighty bastard

Nobody wins.\n\nThe last time we "won" we had to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in both Germany and Japan. If our self-styled leadership wants to go big, and basically exterminate one of the Muslim factions in Iraq, we could slow things down for a short while, and bring our kids home.\n\nThen we could send the chairborne rangers (see above) over and let them flap their gums at the Iraqis. Nothing like tough talk from a bunch of wimpy kids to set things straight, you bet!

If we are talking NRL, it has to be the Knights win in 1997 with the last minute victory over Manly. What a finish.

Militarily, it is, without a doubt, the USA. Capability, force projection, unparallelled. Intelligent, motivated, skilled and well-trained volunteer servicemembers. Top notch weapons technology.\n\nAnd yes, I'm from USA. But that doesn't change the answer.

I would say: valour, honour and chivalry.

We won a military victory.\n\nUnfortunately, this means very little. We've lost by just about any other account.\n\nFrom reading the other answers, there are still a fair number of people who believe that Iraq had something to do with terrorism. But that just isn't true. Saddam did not tolerate groups like Al Queada because extremist groups represented a threat to his power. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. And Iraq had no WMDs.\n\nThis is all stated very clearly in the bi-partisan congressional report, which you can go and read if you'd like.\n\nAnother congressional report that the 9-11/Iraq believers should read is the congressional terrorism report. Terrorism has increased world-wide since the invasion, so again we have not won on that front.\n\nWe've also dumped over $500 billion into this effort and have nothing to show for it as far as remuneration goes. The government has had to borrow more money from countries like China to pay for it since there isn't enough tax revenue to cover it, ploughing us further into debt. So we have not won on the economic front.\n\nFrom a political standpoint, we've spit in the face of the UN and burned all our political capital we had. We ignored our allies. Everyone was warning against this. And still we went in. Our credibility is now quite low throughout the world, especially in the Middle East. Again, no victory there.\n\nFrom a humanitarian view, we've lost. The people view us occupiers, not rebuilders. Tensions are high. Thousands have been killed, with more dying every day. It is now looking quite probable that a civil war is in progress and gaining momentum. The CIA predicted this was a likely outcome two years ago.\n\nAll of this could have been avoided if:\n\nA) We didn't go in in the first place. The policy of premption is at best a double-edged sword and at worst an excuse for empire building (see Nazi Germany for an example).\n\nB) If a plan had been developed to win the peace. We didn't have one, or at least not one that was feasible. From looking at the old videos of the time, there seemed to be the notion that the Iraqi's would welcome us with flowers and then join together in harmony and democracy. I find this amusing considering the place has been a hotbed of religious conflict for at least the past 1000 years.\n\nIn the end, we can claim a military victory. But we can claim little else.\n\n~X~

110% agreement about your conclusion concerning France. Spain has already, for all intents and purposes, been defeated. \n\nLet me try and put this in context for the brain dead liberals:\n\nWhen the people in a country have been given the opportunity to form a government that answers to the people instead of the other way around, a government with leaders elected by the people with guaranteed rights and freedoms - and a small minority of Islamic radicals fights to prevent this, using terror tactics and the killing of thousands of innocent men, women and children - how can you possibly call these demented dirt bags, "freedom fighters?" \nJust what the hell is your definition of "freedom?"
