The price of war


Is world peace or war more important? Many people fail to realize how much money that it is costing to fight this war in Iraq. How can killing other help make peace it only makes situations worst. Also why are we fighting a war in Iraq when there terrorist are in Afghanistan. These are things we need to sit down and think about. Calculations were made that the war that we are having now in Iraq cost about $2 trillion dollars. That’s a lot of money.
What amazed me is the things that can be don’t with money. Meanwhile where using the money foolishly. If we was to take some of that money and teach everyone in the world how to read and write, eliminate poverty around the world, immunize every child and put more money towards finding a cure for aids. We could real have a perfect world to live in. All of that rounds up to about $156.3 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money but nothing near close to the amount of money we spent on this war that we don’t know why we are having. People please be more careful about who we vote into the white house. We can try to make a change for the better in Nov 2008.

I share the same believes as you do, I am against war. I don’t think war is a solution to the problems. Yes, you are right spending too much money is foolishness. But I disagree with one point that you made, It’s that I don’t think world will ever be perfect no matter what we do and yes, poverty will never disappear.
