The cost of the Iraq war is not the downfall of our infrastructure. Not to mention, what is the price you would incur without the war? Who is willing to pay that, assuming they understand it, which most people do not.
I know Interstates are mostly funded by the feds. I'd imagine many other parts of infrastructure are too, at least partly. I have no doubt that war spending has greatly affected the amount of money available for infrastructure. I'd gladly pay whatever price if any of not going into Iraq, but it's too late for that.
