It's not just the Iraqi war that has made our military budget so huge. Even our peacetime budget is larger than like the next 50 countries combined. When is enough, enough?

"This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience... we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
--Dwight D. Eisenhower; farewell speech as President, January 17, 1961.
