Three Trillion Dollars

The Iraq War is nearly five years old. The cost is now projected to exceed three trillion dollars. This will make it the most expensive war, in inflation adjusted dollars, in US history, with the exception of the Second World War.

This was a unilateral war against countries that did us no harm and posed us no threat. It was perpetrated at the behest of Big Oil and the Israel Lobby. It gains us nothing and has caused irreparable damage.

The Democrats are determined not to impeach and not to hold War Crimes trials for the instigators of this war. This is a mistake.
