Think about how that money could have been spent. Maybe improving Bush's "no child left behind" prgram, which is a f***ing joke. More money spent on health care facilities, better housing in urban areas, you name it. There are countless other programs that need more money than they are currently receiving, but they are being ignored because of all the money tied up in the war. That's what my point was.
