What is a meaningful way of understanding the immense amount of money the United States spends in Iraq each day? This simple video by American Friends Service Committee [1] compellingly gets this point across.
How does one most fairly frame this issue of what the United States is spending in Iraq? It’s not only a matter of whether we should be in Iraq for strategic reasons (every reason presented by the Bush Administration has proven to be untrue [2]). It’s also a matter of whether there are vastly superior ways of spending that immense amount of money (there are, as illustrated by the video below).
