Iraq War Offensive
Today's Inquirer has a sentence that it the most offensive I have read concerning the Iraq War. In "Focusing on War's Funding vs. Cost," by Matt Crenson, we find this:
Some say the continued strength of the economy itself is a demonstration of the war's affordability.
Some things should just never be measured solely in financial terms.
One of the serious policy debates we need to have in this county is what amount of defense and defense-related spending is enough. When over 25% of the total budget and well over half, I'm sure, of the discrestionary federal budget is spent on defense, something is out of whack.
