Y'know, we could have just given every Iraqi citizen $37 336.58 and we'd still be ahead by 3,000 american lives and 500,000 iraqi lives. A trillion is a very large number. I bet that, for a flat rate of 37k per capita, we could have gotten the entire Iraqi army to overthrow Saddam all on their own.

Or, as an alternate view, you and I and everyone we know in this country has paid or will pay 4,000 dollars each for this useless war.

This is hardly a useless war! This war has enabled us to definitively label Bush 43 as an incredibly bad american president, and provided myriad specific examples to support this assessment. Why, withouth this war we would be left dithering about faith based social initiatives, no child left behind, stem cell research policies, and the farce of republican fiscal conservativism. No, this war most definitely has a use. Even better, this useful war can be nicely summed up in monetary costs to the american public, at the bargain price of only $4000 each.
