Meanwhile you dickheads pour billions into Iraq.
For the cost of the Iraq war we could have insured 145,766,238 children for one year.

For the cost of the Iraq war we could have fully funded global anti-hunger efforts for 10 years.

For the cost of the Iraq war we could have ensured that every child in the world was given basic immunizations for 80 years.

Don't fucking talk about your concern for kids you fucking hyprocrite.
