Not Much Faith in Success of "War on Terror"
Also according to CBS:
As the third anniversary of the 9/11 attacks nears, a CBS News poll finds most Americans say the U.S. will always have to live with the threat of terrorism. Only two in five think the U.S. and its allies are winning the war on terror.Iraq alone has cost us over $400 billion and climbing. Afghanistan? Who knows. The price paid on the home front for no greater safety as well as the price paid for our operations in various other parts of the world? Priceless.
Wait. There is a price. This phantom war means our kids won't be educated, our GIs and vets won't get health care, the national debt is rising at a record pace, our national infrastruture is collapsing, and Bush couldn't - or wouldn't - create any decent jobs if he stayed in office for another 40 years.
