What would you do with US$2300?

That's what the Iraq & Afghanistan conflicts will have cost every single American by 2008. The rest of Eric Margolis' column basically documents how badly that money was spent. I have to admit that I skimmed, because it's just too depressing to read in detail. Considering that things are going so badly in Iraq, maybe Bush would have been better off just lighting cigars with $1000 bills or something.
