   andy, hamilton, you need some extra zeros in your figure. that's only $2 billion. you need to multiply it a thousand fold. plus, it's a bit pointless blaming the Us economy for all our woes - that was NOT why northern rock imploded, for example. anyway, the principal reason why we - and especially the US - are there in iraq is to control the oil reserves, not bring 'democracy' to an undemocratic region. you can't just foist it on people, it takes centuries, not a few years, to imbed this type of poilitical system. we've been at it for yonks, and are still trying to refine it.

   Its estimated the financial cost of the Iraqi war to the US tax-payer is at present over 2 trillion dollars thats $2,000,000,000+ with uk so far spending about £8 billion (hmm...)and counting. A bit ironic dont u think that this whole affair was triggered by US to help stabilize the global economy and its their plummeting economy thats fkd everybody up.
   We shouldnt be there in the first place but we have a duty to protect the innocent Iraqi civilians, the majority of which want the troops there.
   Its difficult to see an end to it all though as there will always be another suicidal terrorist to replace the ones that are lost. And you cant fight somebody who doesnt want to fight, only kill as many innocent people as possible. And every man,woman and child in the country is a potential suicide threat. How can you deal with that let alone eradicate it? Maybe there needs to be a withdrawal then let the UN deal with the outcome.

   MR Mann of Scotia---As has been said so many times before---the attack on Iraq was a criminal act. A deliberate falsification of the so-called 'reasons ' for this terrible crime. The western world--notably The gas guzzling Americans and of course ,the uk following on their coat tails, are desperate for the future supply of oil. The Saudies have become unreliable ( almost out of US control) The Russians have Massive reserves, but have become bolshie and threatening, Iran, (next intended victim of Imperial aggression) is the worlds 2nd biggest producer. The attack on Iraq is Imperial aggression of the worst and most blatant kind, not seen since Victorian times. The country has been completely taken over by CIA led insurgents who have imposed another dictatorship, only they are yesmen thugs hand picked by the US. Every conceivable money making contract/project--to rebuild the country's smashed infrastructure (which was the most efficient and reliable in the Arab world under Saddam ) is taken by US companies, most --if not all--owned by the people who started the war--I think thats enough.
