I'll tell you what, it would have been a hell of a lot more then the casualties we caused. Also, Canada doesn't need a large military force because you have America there to protect you.

I don't think you understand. If the cost of firing 1 missle could save 200 000 children in Africa, the cost of firing a few hundred in Iraq is ridiculous. You could save all of Africa. If you are looking at the "greater good", the war was not the best use of money.
