Iraq war has cost US 350 billion dollars

A billion dollars and big pile of change for every woman, man and child in America.

Think of the environmental degradation that could begin to repair, the green, energy efficient housing that could build, the homelessness that could eradicate.
Think of the health care and education that could buy, the job training programs it could fund.
Think of the research such a vast amount of money could fund with stem cells or alternative fuels.
Think of the levees that could build, the wetlands that could restore, the city that could breathe back to life, rather than the disaster with trash in the streets 15 months later that is New Orleans.

But if we used our money that way we couldn't enrich Halliburton and Lockheed Martin and pay for Exxon's war in the middle east on tax payers backs.
