Is the Iraq War Costlier Than Doing Nothing?

We broke it; we're responsible. But let us hold accountable the very culpable politicians and officials who got us into this illegal, unjust, immoral, and unnecessary war. Let us account for every penny that went to their buddies in the private sector - Blackwater, Haliburton, KRB, etc. Let us next debunk the full-of-crap myth of the benefits (and "savings") of privatization.

I am doing a debate on getting in or out of the war in school. I am on the getting out side. I believe that since the iraqies have no army that we are just wasting our time and that we could be using the money that we are spending on the war to help starving kids around the war. We have used over 500billion dollars on war materials and wasting the money on trying when its not going to help. I appreciate your time in reading my scripture THX

More of the same old crap spreading that has surrounded this topic. Any economist from Chicago U has no credibility with anyone who can read and think.
Cost benefit my foot. It was illegal, started from a pack of lies, has ruined our economy and standing in the world. Not to mention the lives lost in this fiasco.
The real cost benefit goes to the Merchants of Death and their minions who are stealing us blind.
Can't you get a job delivering newspapers since you obviously can't write with a point or intelligence.
