A thought on the Iraq War -- Kind of disturbing
Iraq is at least costing about 10 billion dollars a month (depending on who you ask). Using that estimate That's roughly 330 million dollars a day Which is about 4,000 dollars a second In the time it took you to click this link Read this post We spent 60,000 dollars on the war

1. Well, I guess this means we better learn to read faster in order to save money...
but yeah, that's a crazy amount of money that could be put to far better use.

Illegal invasion and occupation. Not counting the consequences (yes, I mean on the "other" side) is morally repugnant as well as evidence of genocidal criminality. There will be much more to pay. k&r.
