Foreign policy: Washington spent 7.5 trillion dollars on wars 54% spent in Iraq
translate range
While
arguing about the observers of the tenth anniversary of the Iraq war,
about the size of the errors that were committed – foolish, arrogant
imperialist ambitions, mistakes based on false intelligence, and
unjustified fear, evil is in the details.
The figures-compiled
by some shareholders (29) in the costs of the war, from Brown University
– helps to put the past 10 years under the microscope.
The creation of Al-Qaeda
In Iraq
Al-Qaida
had no presence before the 2003 US-led invasion, the new name of the
Organization (Al-Qaida in Iraq) has since then formed and began
launching attacks on us and Iraqi forces and regular attacks on Iraqi
civilians. In addition, in 2013, the organization published its
technical expertise and in Syria, Jordan and Libya. Although Iraq has
become a "front" in the war on terrorism, says Jessica Stern, a former
member of the National Security Council — they created the United States
front.
Conflicts exacerbated by the war in Iraq
It seems
that the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 had bullied Iran and North
Korea, and did not praise them for seeking weapons of mass destruction,
but, on the contrary, the war in Afghanistan has expanded due to the
invasion of Iraq, and Pakistan escalated with the increase in military
expenditures and loss of life.
Classification in Iraq corruption
Although
Iraq has established formal institutions and democratic practices of
some sort, it is ranked eighth in the world's most corrupt countries by
transparency international reports for last year. View Naji al-Ali of
University College London, Department of Oriental and African Studies,
that women are still underrepresented in politics or in the ministries
or manpower, they largely represented in the totals for the illiterate,
unemployed and poor.
Dust poisoning
The size of the toxic
dust particles that Americans soldiers in Iraq inhale between 2, 5-10
micron; that soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have elevated
levels of respiratory diseases, heart and blood vessels more than
returning from other wars.
Found that dust in Iraq contains a
very high percentage of the particular substance contain 2, 5-10 micron
molecule million, is so small that the lungs cannot remove.
Says
Robert Miller, an expert in lung diseases from Vanderbilt University
School of medicine that dust and sulfur from mines that exploded in
early 2003 and the remnants of the toxins from the burning pits may be
responsible for respiratory diseases of combatants involved in the Iraq
war, including increased rates of bronchial tightness.
Of course that the Iraqi civilians still living with dust and other air-borne pollutants, produced by war.
The number of physicians
In Iraq is very small
After
the invasion of 2003 had fled nearly 18,000 Iraqi doctor. Some of them
returned, but in 2012 no more than 84 psychiatrists and 22 a doctor for a
population of 31 million. He found Dr. Mac Skelton and Dr. Omar daoishi
of the American University of Beirut, many Iraqis travelling abroad –
to India and Turkey, and Jordan and Lebanon – surgical and basic health
care because of lagging vaccinations in childhood.
Minimum documented number of war dead
The
majority of those who have died in Iraq since 2003 were civilians. The
toll includes 4488 from the soldiers Americans and 3,400 Americans
contractors and nearly 11,000 Iraqi police and 318 coalition soldiers
and 62 humanitarian workers.
Although the toll of Americans soldiers
known, Catherine Lutz of Brown University says that the total number of
contractors killed and wounded is still uncertain.
As Nita
Crawford from the same University that there is disagreement about the
number of civilians killed directly because of the violence of the
binder may be part of the total fatalities. In addition, there may be
other deaths as a result of the destruction of the infrastructure of
health care in Iraq.
The number of suicides of soldiers the Americans in 2012 has 349
Ken
says McLeish of Vanderbilt University that this number is not large,
but could escalate because of the trauma of war after the soldiers
return to their homes.
The number of persons with disabilities and their treatment
The
number of service men and women who took part in Iraq and Afghanistan
reached two and a half. More than a million and half of them have left
the service and become eligible for disability benefits and medical care
as veterans.
Show Linda bilmes of Harvard University that these
are patients – with one third suffer from mental illnesses, and a high
percentage suffering from brain injuries and musculoskeletal disorder
which is a burden on the organizations of Veterans Affairs and the costs
of medical care, and disability is on the rise, raising the cost of
treatment to 970 billion dollars over the coming years.
The Iraq
war has cost taxpayers Americans 1.7 trillion dollars excluding health
care for veterans in the future. With the addition of expected future
costs for care, the share of Iraq of four trillion dollars spent for it
will rise to 2.1 trillion dollars. While the Bush Administration
estimated the Iraq war cost 50-60 billion dollars.
Accrued interest on loans for Iraq until the year 2053
The United States did not raise taxes to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Has Brian Edwards of Queens College Economist calculates the interest
due on the loan just to pay for the army and the Foreign Ministry. And
cost benefits to both world wars would exceed the 7.5 trillion dollars.
Iraq's share of expenses of the Ministry of Defense and Foreign Affairs
from 2001 to 2013 is 54%, and you have to count it.
And cannot count a lot of incidental costs of these wars, but there are some lessons that can be learned.
