Right as I type this, the amount of money that this country has spent on the War in Iraq is $175,459,740,824.
According to www.costofwar.com, this could have given basic immunization to ALL of the world's children for 58 years.
It could have given 8,505,916 students four-year scholarships to public universities.
We could have fully funded global anti-hunger efforts for 7 years.

Thanks to the "Screenwriter" for giving me these websites- I know you're touchy about other people taking your ideas, but two people can do more than one!
