Question

can anyone help meeee? (:

i know its about how the u.s spend 1 trillion dollars on weapons in 2004.

but anything else?

Answer 1

basically that's about it. They're just trying to prove a point that there are so many other ways that the country can spend the money on, but they choose to waste it on a pointless war instead. And also how they government tries to make us believe everything's just fine & that it's no big deal that we're spending so much money on Iraq.
