The Iraq Quagmire (August 31, 2005)

Phyllis Bennis and Erik Leaver of the Institute for Policy Studies/Foreign Policy in Focus provide a detailed account of the numerous social, economic, environmental and humanitarian costs and consequences of the Iraq War. They report that to date, the war has cost the US $727 per capita, making it the most expensive military operation of the last 60 years. In addition, maintaining the level of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan will lead to a near doubling of the US federal budget deficit over the next ten years. Furthermore, they note that the world has become less secure, as State Department reports of "'significant' terrorist attacks reached a record 655 in 2004, up from 175 in 2003."
