The Cost of War

The cost of war in Iraq crossed $200,000,000,000.00 this weekend. According to National Priorities Project, that's the same as the cost of fully funding global anti-hunger efforts for 8 years.

This is just the measured economic cost of war expenses. The lives of those killed (Iraqis, Americans, British, and others), the violence that's spread in Iraq, and the damage caused by future terrorists created by this war are unmeasurable.
