Is this the best return on the dollar

Now that the Iraq-Nam disaster, with no end in sight, has cost the US
citizens untold hundreds of billions of dollars without mentioning the
hundreds of American lives maybe it is time to evaluate the many other uses
that could have benefited from the monies invested in this futile effort.

How many schools could have used this money to expand their services to the
illiterate youth that roam the country?

How many hospitals could have used this money to better serve the citizens?

How many homeless people could have been helped and housed?

How many single mothers could have proper care for their children?

How much of this money could have been used to improve the disintegrating
conditions in the cities?

The list goes on and on --------. There are so many serious, needy homeland
projects that soil the face of your Flag?

Why continue to pour money and lives trying, in vain, to seek revenge by
starting and continuing a war in a country that had no connection with 9-11?

Will the lesson ever get through to the war mongering US folk? The Korea
and Vietnam operations never taught them that an unwarranted conflict on
foreign soil is a losing proposition?

Are there now terrorists in all countries? Is Iraq just the first in an
unending, futile battle against terrorism? Do they honestly think that by
throwing resources and thousands of lives into the fray will accomplish
anything?

When you choose to combat a suicidal enemy the rules change! The God fearing
Christians based in the USA must either change their beliefs or continue to
suffer the losses of life and resources.

Do you honestly believe that invading Foreign Countries will in anyway stop
future attacks on US territory? If anything it gives the terrorists more of
a reason to retaliate.

Is the US really willing to continue to be proud of this mismanagement of
their youth, resources and tax dollars to say nothing of their dwindling
respect on the world stage?

Politics aside, do you really think the government would have spent
money on these noble projects? Perhaps I am more cynical, but I just
don't see shrub doing it.
