How the war on iraq or any war has effected and effects the urban community

Why do we go to war and then, turn around and build up that same country's infrastructure?

I mean, look at the Iraq war. We spent billions, I heard we are approaching Trillions of dollars in that war campiagne. The U.S. government is building schools, hospitals and embassies over there with no problem. However, in the United States of America we have school buildings that are barely standing up. We have building with leaky roofs, busted out windows, lead in the pipes of the drinking water, process food being delivered to schools, instead of cook meals etc. and we wander why our children are not competing globally. We are too focus with starting wars and not dealing with our homland.

I'm just providing questions for Che to give on her show. I think thats what this blog is about. If she feels its not a good question to ask, she won't ask it. Mozell, I feel you though.
