3. All of us are paying the price

And the toxic legacy.

The fertile lands of the Tigris-Euphrates are being turned into a toxic wasteland with our tax dollars in our name.

4. How much....
How much healthcare would that have paid for?

Or food for the hungry in America?

Or benefits for the veterans?

Or toward saving social security?

Or for legal help to impeach George W. Bush?

5. This article in the SF Chronicle says the cost is now over $300 billion
counting both Iraq and Afghanistan and protected to eventually exceed $700 billion. I don't know why the discrepancy between the two figures.
