War - Alexei Jendayi & Sol Edler *

At the first Presidential Debate, John McCain continued to oppose timetables for U.S. troop withdrawal, even as the Iraqi government demanded that the United States withdraw. Earlier this year, after Bush mentioned staying in Iraq for 50 years, McCain said, "make it a hundred."

Some 4,000 American soldiers have been killed and more than 30,000 wounded in Iraq. Billions of taxpayers money have been wasted (when all is said and done, an average American family will have paid $30,000 for this war).

However, the biggest victims of the war have been the Iraqis themselves. Lieutenant General Tommy Franks, who led the invasion of Iraq, famously remarked, "We don't do body counts." As the Guardian newspaper notes, however, "even though the Americans were not counting, people were dying, and every victim had a name and a family." "Wedding parties were bombed by US planes, couples driving home at night were shot at checkpoints because they missed a flashlight warning them to stop, and hundreds of other unarmed civilians were killed for no legitimate cause."

As many as ONE MILLION Iraqis have been killed since the start of the invasion. Another 3 million Iraqis have been displaced -- forced to leave their homes and communities. Millions struggle to find adequate shelter, food, water, employment, and health care. People that have suffered greatly under Saddam, are now suffering even more under the U.S. occupation.

Politicians and the media have turned the war into something abstract. The war is real, however, and it has exacted a heavy toll on ordinary Americans and ordinary Iraqis.
