Anyone convicted of a felony should be barred from ever holding public office. The people making our laws should not consider themselves exempt from them, nor breakers of them in such a blatant way.
As far as the cost of the war, that's what makes me sick too. There are people in Africa dying by mass genocide, starvation, AIDS, etc. and BEGGING us for help, yet we give them pocket change. Then, we go and spend over a trillion dollars to 'help' people in Iraq who for the most part do NOT want our help, and do not want us there. Sheesh!
That money could have ended global hunger, could have given free healthcare to everyone in the US, given free college education to everyone, or a million other beneficial uses. Budgets are cut in federal programs as well as state govt.s due to the slow economy, yet we spend more and more wasteful money to fund an invasion that should never have happened in the first place. Arghh!
