A "Cost of the War" counter constantly updates the rising costs of the war in Iraq and compares the cost to what could be accomplished in pre-school, kids' health, public education, college scholarships, energy independence and public housing. There is also a pull down chart that breaks out costs and comparisons of selected counties and cities in the US. (Java is required to run the counter correctly).
