Yes, wars are costly
by Bryce Martin

I love these national wire stories, comments and emails from people on how much the war in Iraq is costing, and hinting in saying so how we just need to pull our tent as if the money could be better spent elsewhere. It could, but it never is and so why would this be any different?

If we had never went to Iraq, no single American would have one single penny gained from us not going. And don't say, yeah, but we could have made better use of it. We could have, yes, but (see above) since when has our federal government taken that stance? Whatever amount of money is spent through waste and corruption would not begin to equal what has been spent in Iraq. It's clear that no one elected to any of our higher offices will stop the moneygrabbers and wastrels.

I don't understand completely why these people don't just come out and say they are democrats and against anything republican.

Wars cost money. It's a known fact. So, what's your point?
