AlterNet: War on Iraq: The Overwhelming Costs of the Iraq War: "Judging by the lessons of Vietnam, public opinion has already tipped against the war on Iraq. All that remains is to hold the neocons accountable.

In the center of the CostOfWar.com home page, an upward-racing ticker, presented in a large, red font, keeps a steady tally of the money spent for the U.S. war in Iraq. Every time I visit, it takes a moment to sort through the counter's decimal places and make sense of it. The hundreds of dollars fly by too quickly to track. The thousands change a little faster than once a second. As I write, the ticker reads $239,302,273,144."
