The toll has been felt most of all, of course, within Iraq itself. Thousands of coalition personnel, mostly American, were killed. Much of the Pentagon spending went to just five huge corporations. Trillions of dollars that could have been spent on improving lives were instead squandered destroying them. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died in the violence that followed.
