The U.N. Security Council is still bitterly divided over how to proceed with Iraq, seemingly unable to reach consensus on anything at all after a meeting today. Such division is likely to remain, especially after Iraq got coy again, agreeing "in principle" to destroy its al-Samoud 2 missiles, seen in the photo below with a U.N. weapons inspector.



House Democrats, meanwhile, are angry at the Bush administration for not publicly disclosing war cost estimates, which privately have been put in the range of $60 billion to $100 billion.

Do you think the U.S. can afford to spend that much money on a war, especially with the economy in the condition that it's in? Post your comments and let us know.

No I do not believe that the U.S. can afford this war - in part because the costs of the military assault are only the begininning...see my website for the reason why accompanied by a really funny original cartoon.

Instead of spending an estimated 85 billion, lets just send each of the 23,322,000 Iraqis a million each(except Saddam-hey-save a million) and let them leave Iraq on their own.

So much cheaper! And we could deficit spend to rebuild the economy and infrastructure instead. I suggest a billion on alternate fuels.....then we would not need Iraq.

The real cost is in human lives and the destruction of international trust. The billions of dollars are far more then America can afford much less the 'aid' that is being promised. Bush needs to be working to rebuild the American business community while establishing fair and equitable trade to help the entire world economic situation.
