Today marks the 1st anniversary of the war in Iraq. As of now, it is costing this country over $106 billion dollars, which is approximately $380 dollars per each person, man, woman, and child, in the entire nation, and $1500 per household, according to this source, which is what the running counter above is from. See it go? Ever higher and higher? That's our future, slipping away at a rate of about $1,700 every second.
