Dyv, the cost of the war (according to your own figures) is 10%, not 1%. ($200 billion out of $2 Trillion. I use that figure rather than the $120B you mention because money is still being spent and it won't be long before we're at $200 Billion and beyond.) I think that IS a big deal. it's always nice to see where people get their data and how they use it. remember this is only the monetary costs. it doesn't count:
1,584 coalition troop deaths, 1,423 Americans, 76 Britons, seven Bulgarians, one Dane, two Dutch, two Estonians, one Hungarian, 20 Italians, one Kazakh, one Latvian, 16 Poles, one Salvadoran, three Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and 17 Ukrainians in the war in Iraq as of January 28, 2005.
AND
At least 10,622 U.S. troops have been wounded in action, according to the Pentagon. The Pentagon does not report the number of non-hostile wounded.
