Iraq

Speaking of Cost

boy.jpgWe've spent a paltry $35 million to help the millions of people hit by the tsunamis. It's cost $147,652,150,345 (and counting) to do things like put this 9-year old boy in the hospital. That's nearly $150 BILLION on a lie-based war.

Non-partisan international groups (link) estimate that we've killed over 100,000 Iraqis since the war began, nearly the same number of those killed by the tusnamis. The tsunamis killed free of charge. Our killing cost $150 billion of YOUR tax dollars. According to the outstanding site www.costofwar.com, we could have hired 2 and a half million new teachers for that $150 billion.

But instead we're putting 9-year olds in the hospital. Or in the ground.
