Americans Think They Have It Bad

Yes there's a lot of Americans out of work, or who have lost value in their homes and retirement saves. But look on the bright side, we don't live in Iraq.

The report by the Human Rights Ministry said 85,694 people were killed from the beginning of 2004 to Oct. 31, 2008 and 147,195 were wounded.

The population Iraq is 29 million. Since the beginning of the Iraq War 0.4% of the population have been killed. And killed why? Because George W. Bush made a mistake. George W. Bush is now relaxing and enjoying his retirement in Texas. Iraq families have been decimated for absolutely no reason. Imagine coming home at the end of the day, and your wife or husband is killed or your children, parent or grandparents.

The 600 billion spent to fight the war that resulted in 85,694 Iraqis and 4000+ Americans dead could have been better spent on Americans jobs, education, health care, etc. But no a senseless war was more important.
