Tens of thousands of US troops killed or wounded. Millions of Iraqis displaced. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed or wounded.
And now we conclude it is costing us $12 billion a month.
Can anyone please explain to me why you think this is worth it? How is this benefiting me and you?

Trade
Hey everyone,
So I'm new to posting, although I've tried to keep up with what you all have written since Rachel invited me contribute. Here's an opinion article I just read called "The Pain of Globalisation."
http://www.epi.org/content.cfm/webfeatures_viewpoints_pain_of_globalisation
It talks about the negative impact of trade on American worker's wages and why that's happening. Globalization is inevitable, and potentially also beneficial, but there are certain considerations that have to be made. Like demanding that the people who contribute the labor used to produce the goods we ultimately buy here are ensured basic rights. I also think government supported (at least partially) training for people who find their jobs shipped oversees so they can become employed again is a good idea.
Any thoughts?
