    How about that $800 Billion..folks that alot of US taxpayers money to spend on a country like Iraq. Imagine if that money was use to "rebuild" America instead?...new schools, new bridges, create alternate fuel sources, feed the hungry, space exploration, airport improvements, etc, etc..enough already with foreign intervention in the future. I say keep our money at home...
