Assessing the War


Then consider these stats. Five years on, as of March 16:
3,989 American soldiers has been killed in combat.
That is way too many, but only a fraction of the approximately 151,000 Iraqis killed.
29,295 Americans soldiers have been wounded in combat
2 million Iraqis are nog refugees with another 4 million internally displaced but who haven’t left. The cost of all this, $406.2 Billion spent on the war through 2007, who know how much in the last two.
$752 billion for the War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
Then read this very frank assessment of what has been accomplished and ask yourself if it was worth it.
