Do the math....


$2,500,000,000,000.00, the looming cost of the war.

67,265, the number of confirmed dead Iraqi civilians as of 07/14/2007, according to the respected Iraq Body Count Project. This number is artificially low, as most Iraqi casualties go unreported. The actual number of dead Iraqi civilians has been estimated at 655,000. As of last October. (Link goes to WP article)

3,613, the number, today, of our sons, daughters, sisters, brothers that have come home in a box.

409 "Civilian" American casualties.

Minimum amount spent by BushCo. to kill just one person,
$3,793,500.07.

Of course, the administration insists that nowhere near that many Iraqis are dead, so let's see how much has been spent per human death according to confirmed casualties.

$35,069,507.80

That's one hell of an expenditure. Can our people come home now please?
