Hmm... have you looked at the statistics to see how many Iraqis were killed due to our invasion and occupation?
Have you looked at the cost that each American must bear for our invasion and occupation? Not to mention the occupation of over 130 foreign nations? So much so that not only will I continue to pay for it throughout my life, but my children and grandchildren will have to pay this debt as well.

The cost of the Iraq war is pittance compared to the money spent on welfare programs.
Nice. Population of US soldiers in Iraq, 160,000. Population of American in Chicago, 3-million-something. Compare the murder rate of a city with 160,000 people to the death rate of Americans in Iraq, why doncha? Say, Madison, Wisconsin---controlled by furious radical liberal democrats. 25 murders since the Iraq war started.
That's what happens when you declare yourself a sanctuary city; defy DHS until they sue you; pay overtime to provide police protection every time LaRaza tells you they want to have a march; and your city council is run by hispanic anchor babies.
If you think Chicago is bad, wait until Obama gets into office, rams amnesty down our throats and raises all of our taxes to take care of every single illegal alien and their chain migrating family members.
The cost of the Iraq war is pittance compared to the money spent on welfare programs.
Obviously, some have no idea how much we spend on either one. Also confusing, I've noted, can be the difference between the number of Americans in Iraq and Afhganistan and the number of Americans in Chicago...

Not to mention the percentage of deaths from non-hostile causes in Iraq, which is approximately 20% overall, and much higher in some months....

You think that Chicago is "liberal"?? It might be liberal if you live in Fuknutt Arkansas but by big city standards it is actually quite moderate-conservative and business friendly. Ask all the Hippies from 1968 how "liberal" Chicago is!
Do you want something really interesting to sink your teeth into? Try this.
In Iraq, number of US troops per 1,000 population = about 5
In Chicago, number of police per 1,000 population = 4.79.
(Washington DC 6.53.)(Iraq, assuming 160,000 troops, 32-million people)
We are trying to police Iraq with the same concentration of force that we are applying to keep control of the docile and law-abiding population of Chicago.
