10 billion dollars per month in Iraq, is it really worth it?

Home More advice Politics & Law

I found out the other day, the United States is spending 10 billion per month to stay in Iraq. Wow. All that & we can't cover health care for poor children. Or raise the minimum wage. But, we give tax breaks to the rich :)

So, is it really worth it, spending that much money, to spread ill will among other countries about the United States, and make them HATE us more? Is killing more people worth any money at all?

I'm sickened, really, but curious: what's your personal justification, if you think we should stay there, for spending all that money given the massive pile of problems in the US today?
