Cost of War
For any of you who may have lost count of some of the statistics involving our current war in Iraq, I humbly offer them to you.
1. Cost of War in $$: over $499 Billion and counting
2. Cost of war in American lives: 3973; since "Mission Accomplished": 3834
3. Cost of war in Iraqi lives: estimates over 1,150,000 deaths
4. Cost of war in wounded American soldiers: estimated at over 60,000, with countless others suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses as a result of having been exposed to such dire circumstances.
5. Cost of war in Iraqi refugees: over 4 million.
