Of all the statistics that President Obama’s national security team will consider when it debates the size of forthcoming troop reductions in Afghanistan, the most influential number probably will not be how many insurgents have been killed or the amount of territory wrested from the Taliban, according to aides to those who will participate.

It will be the cost of the war.

It should be the number of innocent human beings the Empire has murdered.

Cost in money vs. cost in lives vs. cost to the American soul.

Well, one is certainly easier to quantify than the others...
