The Afghanistan War bankrupted Russia. What will Iraq do to America?

the cost is tremendous. and almost unbelievable. and for what, i wonder?
295 days left of bush. though it won't matter much. we still have far more than 295 days left of this war, and we will have to live with the damage for decades.
There's not much more doom and gloom I could add to bird's comment.
*sigh*
Sorry. Just hoping it will spur people on to vote in USA for a president that will withdraw forces from Iraq and place their own people above the 'fear of taxation'.
Hopefully universal health care will be a priority.
Guess you got to see our new PM...yes he smiles all the time..the first one who does that!
Yes he speaks fluent Mandarin...and the opposition here are jealous as hell.
Yes he is a hard working, energetic young leader. We have hopes. Hope he gets more than one term to prove himself.
Good luck to the USA.
