A recent report from Brown University Cost of War Project says the total cost of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan total $3.2 to $4 trillion including care for injured veterans until 2050 and interest on loans to finance the wars. The cost in human lives is 19,629 in Afghanistan ( US and Afghanis) and 48,000 injured. Nearly 1 million Iraqi civilians have been killed, the majority women and children, and 4,414 US troops killed. More than 3 million Iraqis lost their homes and are refugees. Do US citizen want their taxes used for war? What about the future of American children? What is the Peace Dividend? How could it be used? What can we do as US citizens? Participants will explore the answers to these questions. Other speakers are sought as you read this announcement.
