Recent news reports put the costs of the ongoing occupation of Iraq at as much as $250 million per day. How many children could be sent to college for that amount? How many people could be given free or reduced price health care for that price? How much of the Katrina damage could we rebuild with a few days worth of that money? Overall how much good could this country be doing with massive amounts of money continuing to be spent in a failing occupation?
We as a country need to take a good look at our course and see if or not we are on the right path. We as citizens are responsible for learning where our money is being spent and for seeing that our representatives in Congress follow our wishes. We should not allow ourselves or our country to follow any course that goes against the common good.
