If the moral and legal concerns about the war in Iraq aren't enough to make you join the anti-war side of the debate, how about a little pragmatism?
The National Priorities Project has a ticker flying through the dollars being thrown into this mission-less war - even more nauseating, they have comparisons showing what could be spent on invaluable domestic programs - like Head Start and public housing - were the money not being given to Halliburton instead. Mind you, it is to the contractors that the bulk of this money is going. If billions of dollars a week were going to our military, do you really think they would be in substandard healthcare facilities? Would they be under-equipped? Would they be kicked out of government housing?
I've embedded the counter in my blog -------->
You can, too - here.
