Bush, Vietnam and Iraq....

The Vietnam War resulted in the deaths of 4 million Vietnamese
civilians in a nation of about 40 million - 10% of the total
population of Vietnam. Americans lost 58,202 soldiers in that war. And
in hard, cold numbers, the Vietnam War cost the United States the
equivalent of $662 billion in today's dollars.

So far, today, this no-end-in-sight war against Iraq has resulted in
the deaths of more than 1 million innocent Iraqis in a nation of 25
million. Four thousand of our best and bravest have died, and nearly
29,000 have been wounded. In hard, cold numbers, the Iraq War will
cost the United States more than $2 trillion.
