The Iraq war and this current (2007) administration needs to be stopped--Now! With all the money spent on this war so far (approximately $188 billion, every man, woman, and child in America could have gotten a college degree (that includes the illegal aliens).Social Security, health care, infrastructures, and education costs all could have been fixed if the money was invested in this country on the people instead of buying bullets.
