Can you put a price tag on innocent lives? If having a stable, democratic government there makes everyday life a little safer than it's worth every penny.

Hi! I see what you're saying, but it is really the responsibility of the United States to change every government on the face of the earth? Was this really our right to interfere with Iraq's government?

Hi! I agree, this is a ridiculous amount of money for a war that is supposed to be "over." It is also important to realize that a lot of Americans didn't support getting into this war in the first place. Then, when we had the hurricanes in Texas and Louisiana, we didn't even have the assistance of our own National Guard because they were in Iraq. That was angering, too. I do think this money could have been better spent and Iraqi matters left to the Iraqi people. That's just my opinion, though.
