The financial cost of the war has been more than £4.5 billion ($9 billion) to the UK,[60] and over $845 billion to the U.S., with the total cost to the U.S. economy estimated at $3 to 5 trillion.

Even though many more US soldiers have died in the Vietnam War, this 'war' is costing us a lot more money.

What are the goals of the Iraqi War?
What are we hoping to accomplish for the US and Iraq?
What will happen if we 'lose'?
What will happen if we 'win'?
