As of June 2006, over $350 billion has been allocated by the US Congress entirely for the Iraqi war. The amount has been calculated at upwards of $3500 per taxpayer.  The war in Afghanistan has cost an additional $100 billion since 2001.   It is time to reverse course and to take back control of a political and economic system that has become beholden to the very military industrial complex that former President Eisenhower warned us against in 1961.
