Do you REALLY understand the Costs?
I believe that the war in Iraq is not an "American" war. It should be identified as the "Bush family war in Iraq" It galls me that taxpayer money is used to fund religion which supports spending even more money to finance the bush family war.

At the bottom of this first link, there is also a cost meter that displays what would be the cost of different social programs if the bush administration did not earmark the bulk of your taxes for his private adventures.

This is for the cost of the Iraq war:

This is for the "War on terror":

Shocking isn't it?
