Food for thought

The tenth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq was marked by seventeen car bombs exploding, killing sixty people and wounding one hundred and ninety. Iraq is torn apart by Sunni Muslims revolting against the Shiites in power. Youth unemployment has reached appalling heights and western consumer goods are scarce to none. During the decade the Americans were there, 4,484 of their soldiers were killed and 32,200 were wounded in a mission that cost between
$3 and $4 trillion dollars, to say nothing of the Iraqi death and wounded toll and the destruction to the country. Imagine what could have been done for both countries with proper use of that amount of social wealth. So much for capitalist achievements and its priorities. John Ayers.
