I agree with the cost of the war. It is just the beginning of the REAL robbery though. No one seems to talking about the global companies that are reaping vast profits while it continues. No one seems to be objecting to the increase in activity and constant growth of funds to feed these companies. We fought organized crime from 1948-1963 We fought drugs from 1963-1982 We fought terrorism from 1982 - 2001 Now we are entering the untraceable era since 11 september 2001. over two trillion US dollars is missing from the pentagon in 2001. How many congressional fundings over one hundred billion US dollars have been made over the past decade?? The systematic bailout Moneys that have been given to these same companies in the name of structural rebuilding?? AND NOW the summit meetings to add even more. Beginning I say because when the power is fully shifted to the untraceable direction, the rape will truly commence. I believe your use of Robbery is too polite a term in this reality.
