The economic costs of the Iraq War continue to mount. (I recall someone testifying that it would only costs America two billion.) Check out my favorite new site, which I look at every night. It's:
www.costofwar.com.
It tells you how much the war costs per person. It analyzes what alternatives the money could have been spent on - I particularly like that we could fund more than 8,000,000 college scholarships with an equivalent amount of money. I would encourage all to play with the site a bit to get a perspective on the economic costs.
