Every Georgian has anted about $1,470 to support the war in Iraq. Or, as the group Georgians Against Escalation in Iraq has calculated, Georgia's share of the $456 billion war cost is $13.2 billion. There are about 9 million Georgia residents.
The anti-war group, supported by MoveOn.org, released its report today.
Other than the monetary cost, more than 100 Georgia military personnel have been killed in Iraq.
