It's too late for Iraq, but perhaps the bloodshed that has already come and will continue to come for many more years in Iraq will teach the American psyche once and for all the terrible price of unnecessary wars. I can only hope, but I don't think there is much reason for hope.
Conscientious folks were saying the same thing at the end of the Vietnam War. Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results, so I'm not going to be chiming in when the war is over by saying that perhaps we've "learned our lesson" because we, collectively as a nation, did not the last time.
