[Sosfbay-discuss] Where Do Your Taxes Go

[Curt Wechsler]

OK, this is not going to make any fans, but...

with close to 800,000 civilian deaths in Iraq (more than estimated deaths
in Dafur), I think this approach is very selfish.  War crimes should take
precedence to budgetary issues.  There's a world out there folks.
