Epilouge

I think having an epilogue section would add for a great spot to further examine the cost of war. A chance to put the numbers on the screen of people who died/wounded on every side, people displaced by the battle, the cost to the city itself with its infrastructure further destroyed. Reagan once won an election by asking people "Are you better off now?" I would like to know how the Iraqis you interviewed would answer that question. I think most of them would probably say they are not better off. Ultimately, there is this huge cost paid by men and women on both sides and you have to ask yourself "what was gain?" And the answer is probably very little.
