The article is about the cost of the war of Iraqi. It says that it will coast about 3 trillion dollars. This includes the war in Afghanistan. The USA keeps having the burden of paying these wars. During the Invasion of Iraq, they had to pay circa 11million dollar, and for the up keep is an additional 6million dollars. They have to rebuild the whole governmental system and try to keep a stable government.

Hi Eamon its GABE
i decided to comment on yours since no one else will LOL
anyways Eamon i think this article is very harsh although i do agree with all that it says and i think that is was a very horrific war. i really feel bad for all the people that died but i also really feel bad for the United states who had to pay up to 3 trillion dollars! on this war, and even when the war was a failure.
"When a young soldier is killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, his or her family will receive a U.S. government check for just $500,000"
This is a quote i found on your page and i find that simply shocking. One boy and the family receives 500,000 US dollars.. I can just imagine who many boys/child soldiers died.
gabe.
