What is the cost of Iraq?
Two reference sites catalog the cost of the Iraq War in different respects.
First, a geographic breakdown of just how much the Iraq war is costing us in dollars. Scroll down to find your state or city. Mine? Texas - $25.6 billion, Houston - $2.2 billion. That sure would cover a lot of children's health care in one of the nation's lowest ranked states where, not coincidentally, George Bush was governor.
Second, a link from my aunt (thanks,) to an MSNBC page that shows a breakdown of US and Iraqi deaths on a map of Iraq by time period. (I find it disturbing to watch that bar chart on the right climb up marking the deaths.)
