On the heels of yet another protest, the Iraq war's potential as a financial, political and emotional quagmire seems to have come into full fruition. In the five years since the U.S. military stormed into Baghdad under the misguided and disturbing notion of a "shock and awe" campaign, the United States has spent nearly $3 trillion on the war, according to Harvard professor Linda J.

It takes a strikingly different approach than its predecessors, yet continues Nintendo Wars as a successful series of real time strategy gaming.
