The Iraq Occupation continues.... along with US imperialism and militarism, over 4000 GI's dead, plus thousands of contractors, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi family members.

 

The costs of war go far beyond the financial costs to US taxpayers.  The costs to other countries financially is not readily obtainable, but of course the main costs are in human life of combatants and civilians.  The maiming of people physically and psychologically goes on generation after generation.
