I agree that this dosn't sound too true. Iraq wasn't hard to take over, they even attempted to incite the local population of iraq in order to cut costs anyway. They successfully did that too in some areas, which saved America tons, at the cost of innocent lives.

They also didn't need to use much against Iraq, because the military might of America is so much stronger. For instance, they don't need to send a whole fleet of bombers, but just a few. Because Iraqs anti-air defence wasn't all that great. Etc etc.

The war against iraq was probably the cheapest war America has ever be involved in. They also got oil to help gain back some of the cost of what they used to make the war in the first place.

Oh as for economical ideas. If worst comes to worst, they could do a company tax rule. They tax companes an additional 3 or 5% on top of the standard tax. Because America has such a high population count, that companies gain a lot by going to America, a mere 5% extra tax wouldn't reduce their profit margin by much, but considering all the hundreds of different companies in America, it would be a huge increase in income.

Also, they could easily cut the amount of money they spend on the military. They have the biggest and most powerful military power in the world, what reason is there for having such an army? Does it actually look like anyone intends to attack America any time soon? America are picking out the ones that might attack them first anyway, and the ones that they are taking out don't even have nearly as much military might anyway. America dosn't need such an army really, they can afford to cut it down just a little if they are getting desperate on the economics.

Did you know that their military alone consumes a little over half of America's income alone? jeez, it's ridiculous (sp?)
