How Much Is The War Costing Us?

I've been thinking about this lately, and when I have thoughts, I like to blog about them. Surely that's the point of a blog?

Anyway, amidst the credit crunch, and the probability of another great depression, I can't help but think, how much is the war in Iraq costing us?

I mean, with the resources and people being used in Iraq, so much money is being spent! I don't understand why the public, including people who struggle enough as it is, are being forced to cut back, when the Government spend huge amounts of unnecessary money.

I'm not a person that classes myself as being either pro or anti war, I just think that there are better things for the most powerful nations in the world to be spending their money on.

If my family have to cut down on our 'spending', why don't the families of Gordon Brown or George Bush?

This credit crunch is the fault of the Governments who didn't take necessary procedures to prevent it, and yet they're not the people suffering because of it!

But back to my point, it's probably not a popular viewpoint, but surely drawing back some of the resources or troops in Iraq would save money!

Easier said than done I guess.

I guess we'd rather our societies crashed, than let the other side think they won...
