this morning some light was shed into my reality...
some interesting stats shared at my church this morning:
$348 billion-what the U.S. has spent on the war in iraq (and this number is growing)
to provide basic education for the whole world-$6 billion
for healthy water and sanitation-$9 billion
for reproductive health for all women-$12 billion
to provide basic health and nutrition globally-$13 billion
this past day after thanksgiving shopping day the U.S. spent $9 billion
"the U.S. can't win the war on terrorism unless we confront the social and political roots of poverty." colin powell
