True. That's actually what I meant. I was trying to write the opposite of "Are gay people born gay?" to see if using the opposite orientation might remove some of the bigotry.
The Invasion of Iraq has been so expensive that we could have given every single Iraqi citizen $19,000 as a bribe to let the US take over.
By the time the Invasion is over, that figure is likely to be in the neighborhood of $40-80,000 per Iraqi citizen.
The cost to the American citizens? Currently over $1500 per citizen, with expected totals in the $3k-6k per us citizen.
I can think of better things to have done with that money.
Israel - 2.5b
Egypt - 1.8b
Jordan - 461m
Pakistan - 698m
The US has already stopped aid to Saudi Arabia.
That said, the total amount spent on foreign aid, globally, is less than the cost of two weeks in Iraq.
