The cost of the war, aside from the $3 trillion, was over 4,000 dead Americans, over 30,000 wounded and maimed Americans, tens of thousands of broken American marriages and lost careers, one million dead Iraqis, four million displaced Iraqis, and a destroyed country.
All of this was done for the profits of the military/security complex and to make paranoid Israel, armed with 200 nuclear weapons, feel “secure.”(my emphasis)….

A country where over half the teenagers don’t even qualify to graduate from high school doesn’t need enemies.

Only 44.4 percent of 17-year-olds in Israel were eligible for a matriculation certificate in 2008, according to statistics released by the Adva Center on Sunday.

Moreover, only 38.5 percent of those eligible passed the matriculation at a level that meets university-entrance requirements. The most troubling figure, however, was the 20 percent of students in 2008 who did not attend twelfth grade at all.
