    Cynically, id say that the American people will initially pay.....however all that money and the profits will go back to USA in short order, through the contracts awarded to US Business.

    However, it goes back to USA in the pockets of those that are already rich....not to the pockets of the Low-Middle Income people that originally paid.

    RF,

    Republicans call this "trickle down" economics. Corporation tax breaks and reconstruction contracts will filter straight on down to "joe average" and everything will be peachy.....theoretically.
    Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?

    hobbes,

    Did you know that the original name for this economic theory was "Pissing on the Poor"?

    "Trickle-down Economics" is what it ended up as after the spin doctors got their say.

    "Getting Crapped On " or "Eating Sh*t" are the two most common names in my economic level.

    Amazing how many economic theories contain potty references, ain&#39;t it?

    The common,middle-class American will end up paying for Iraq. They have already started by giving up sons and daughters to the military and will continue by forfeiting services and protections ( you know, little stuff like health care) that will suffer at the hands of Bush&#39;s inane fiscal policy.

    Why didn&#39;t we all just send Halliburton &#036;20 in April and forget about the war?
