What things could have been done with the $3 trillion spent on the Iraq/Afgahnistan wars?
It could employ 6,000,000 people for 10 years at a mean annual salary of $50,000.

What else could be done with $3 trillion? Post your idea.

1. Infrastructure!
No hard data needed -- just common sense.

2. We kill Saddam Hussein AND Osama bin Laden
What more do you want? Quit looking at the price tag, and just enjoy the spectacle. You're being a buzzkill.
