War, Huh, Yeah!

What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!

-Edwin Starr

The cost of keeping troops in Iraq since 2001 is reaching 730 billion dollars while the cost of the war in Afghanistan is over 276 billion dollars. That means the US government has spent over 1 trillion dollars-let me repeat that number- 1 trillion dollars to fight a war that seems never ending at this point and has not made the world any safer.

Why aren't more people screaming about this the way they did about the perceived $940 billion dollar cost of the health care reform bill?
