The price we pay:  Occupation and Contract enforcement in Iraq:
Wednesday, August 16, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com

A new poll conducted by Opinion Dynamics released by Fox News shows 67 percent of those polled believed the United States will be unable to stop a civil war from breaking out in Iraq.

Since military operations began in March 2003, 2,592 Americans troops have been killed in Iraq with another 19,300 wounded.

Economic Consequences Of Iraq Occupation 
By Garda Ghista
Introduction The U.S. real economy is in virtual shambles. It is the most debt-ridden country in the world, with every American having an average debt of $12,000. Its position is worse than that of Indonesia when it imploded in 1998, and it is even worse than that of Argentina. In February and March of 2003 another half a million Americans were laid off from their jobs. US has a record trade deficit of nearly 5% of GDP, a $6.3 trillion dollar deficit (55% of GDP which is $9 trillion) and is looking at annual budget deficits in the hundreds of billions. There is massive debt manipulation, unaffordable tax cuts, massive current account deficits, trade deficits, corporate accounting fraud running into billions, unsustainable credit expansion, and near zero personal savings. http://www.proutworld.org/features/econsiraq.htm
