Well Klarissa, the world's best economists (e.g. Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel prize) estimate that bushies iraq war will cost Americans about $3 TRILLION. 0.7% of our GNP amounts to about $70 billion per year.
In short, for the cost of bushies useless, illegal war, we could have financed aid to poor countries for the next 40 years. Would have been a much more sensible investment.
