War is the most important issue Americans should be concerned with in this 2012 election. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have cost America at least $3 trillion (with a T), almost 7,000 of our sons and daughters lives and ruined our economy. Some economists like Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize recipient for economics, have put the cost trillions higher. 

Now Romney's foreign policy advisers, the same Bush advisers who lied us into the Iraq war, including the likes of John Bolton, Dick Cheney and Republican John McCain, want us to " bomb, bomb Iran " at a cost of a few more trillion with a 'T', and God knows how many more lives! Ending the wars we are in and not jumping irrationally into another and, like President Obama has stated, "doing some nation building at home" is what Americans should be focused on in this election if we want to create jobs, save our economy, our educational system and our middle class.
