Yeah, here are my thoughts:

www.costofwar.com

The War In Iraq Costs
$277,781,581,069

Instead, we could have paid for
36,792,268
children to attend a year of Head Start.

Instead, we could have insured
166,336,325
children for one year.

Instead, we could have hired
4,813,990
additional public school teachers for one year.

Instead, we could have provided
13,466,246
students four-year scholarships at public universities.

Instead, we could have built
2,501,163
additional housing units.

Instead, we could have fully funded global anti-hunger efforts for
11
years.

nstead, we could have fully funded world-wide AIDS programs for
27
years.

nstead, we could have ensured that every child in the world was given basic immunizations for
92
years.

Need more opinions? Almost a century of basic immunizations wasted.
