Was it worth it?

As of 2:45 Jan 2nd the cost of our two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was $949,657,921,321 http://costofwar.com/ and growing by the moment. I don’t know if our attacks on Pakistan and Yemen are included.

US Soldiers Death in Iraq 4372 http://icasualties.org/

US Soldiers Death in Afghanistan 949 http://icasualties.org/

Deaths of Iraqis have been estimated from 30,000 to 655,000 www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/10/11/iraq.deaths as of the end of 2006\

Estimates of the number of Al Quaida members is impossible to obtain but they have shown up in most countries. Will we attack Germany, England? Even if there were 1 million in the world that means we have spent $94,965 792,132.10 to catch each one.

Only we haven’t caught and/or killed 1 million terrorists. We have killed many innocent people and more of our own people than died in 9/11. This sounds like a bad deal.

I don’t think it was worth it. Do you?
