Yes, but who wants to fund a permanent, "peaceful" base?
well, again, we do it all over the world, keep "peaceful" bases that is. I don't know waht the bases in Korea or Germany cost, but the issue has never been really debated.
Most people have trouble processing all these billions and billions of dollars. A bar graph, comparing Iraq to everything else, maybe would be understandable. But the numbers themselves are just too large to mentally process.
How many Americans even KNOW that one billion=one thousand million, or that one trillion= one thousand billion? I would guess maybe 25% of the population. How to make less-educated Americans understand this?
