if its COSTS are the americans’ reason to stop the war, there is WAY more wrong with that country than i thought..

This is amazing!

Anyone who likes this should see WHY WE FIGHT

Because Bush says so?

LOL.

The REAL cost of war is not measured in $s and cents, but by what it does to the spirit of the nations involved. Wars ALWAYS involve atrocities and horrors on both sides, which diminish and poison the spirit of everyone. Any time humanity is divided into “us” and “them” factions, this is a cause of sorrow and suffering, and an impoverishment of the spirit of all those who either participate, or behold.

1. Trillion dollar rumor is a huge stretch from the truth. 2. Arn’t you Republicans advocating an indefinite stay in Iraq?

wow that’s a lot for 3 trillion and to think Obama is going to spend 1 trillion just in stupid government programs we don’t need. Really puts it in perspective. Obama is whacked out in his economic views and he’s going to break/kill our economy. His economic principles have never been tried or proven. He is wreckless and is only doing it to get elected. Selfish gain.

I totally agree with you… but I think once that good side/bad side distinction has been made, the “other” is percieved as evil and is subhumanized, so its possible for a nation to turn a blind eye from any atrocities committed in war. It almost seems necessary at this point to appeal to the monetary aspect to get people to look at the war in a more negative light.

Sadly, i perceive you are correct: war has many costs, but many folks do indeed turn a blind eye to the more intangible ones which they think do not affect their daily lives. When you put the monetary costs in front of them, sometimes it shocks them into thinking about the other matters. To think of all the things which could be accomplished with 3 trillion dollars, completely boggles the mind.

three trillion dollars!!! my god what kind of administration do you have “Americans”? and all of you think you live in paradise? no tienen idea

Make love, not war, condom is much cheaper than guns..

im from the land of reality, fucking canada, you know something worse then the war and this taliban, immigration we now have terrorists who were born in canada the news says ‘ a man from the muslim community’ canadian born man they call it. you know the political correctway so they dont get sued.attempting to bomb parliment there is a canadian born man from the ‘muslim community’ who threw a grenade at a US soldier while ‘visiting’ afganistan. we can pay all the police and they cant protect us.

Somebody needs to tug my a blondie hair and turn this sexy babe into a lady!

about people hating the U.S. im not so sure. its not the people its the goverment so then the people to for not stoping them in their race to destroy countrys and steal oil; and the capacity of some U.S. citizens to be fooled by everything the light-emmiting box says. I ont believe anyone hates U.S. citizens theworld hates what your goverment does

America has been bullying small countries since Vietnam. Blame our corrupt/corporate influenced government, not us. I have a different stance on Afghanistan though. I know a bit about it’s recent history and what the Taliban has done to that country. I know we’re not doing a fantastic job right now, but nothing could be worse than the Taliban. Besides, pulling out now would mean making the same mistake we made in 1989 after the Soviets left..

well it’s not a fucking romantic comedy, right? my guess is that it wants to be informative and have an intellectual impact, holy shit, man what would you like to see there, apart from numbers and facts? some fucking dog puppies?

the saudi’s run canada, through ‘human rights commisions’ sponsored and paid for by, none other then the saudi’s, Mosque’s targeting young black canadians to recruit for a canadian terrorist unit. SPONSORED AND PAID FOR BY THE SAUDI BASTARDS. saudi arabia now thats a war ill join.

yup totally agree. just how countrys hate george bush, they are gonna love obama cause he isnt as stupid as bush!!

mm… dont be sosure.. the resident as always and everywhere is just a public face, a puppet, controlled by someone with power and bigger goals than ruling a country is more like slaving the world (like all big bankers do)

If you guys calculate war that way, then why isnt anyone talking about how much medicare, medicate and social security’s total cost? Look it up, its almost 40 Trillion dollars.

bored woman here, can someone here help me?

But don’t we kind of need those things? How much do we really need this war?

Cl3atis - Great reply.

Word’s can not express my anger at my own government for having anything to do with this war.

“2.1 million veterens”where did you get that figure?

haha, what they dont know is that now barack obama is president and war is now morre

Great post this one of MakeWarzHistory, who was the retard that marked it as spam, for crying out loud?

ya by gettin retards awake

what mess ? war is the best thing in the world

Do you work for Backwater or Raytheon?, that would explain the cynicism.

it is a lot of money, but I notes soemthings, i.e. does not the money from making all the war supplies and replacement costs pump money back into the economy?

more than three trillion dollars, the government will leave a huge scar on america for decades to come. just imagine if government had stayed limited, how powerful our economy and advanced our society would have been. sigh. that is the real damage.
