WTF? #8 – 1.000.000.000.000 $…

The price tag for the Iraq War is now estimated at $700 billion in direct costs and perhaps twice that much when indirect expenditures are included. Cost estimates vary — Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz puts the total cost at more than $2 trillion — but let’s be conservative and say it’s only $1 trillion (in today’s dollars).

Hätte man 1000 Milliarden statt in Soldaten und Panzer lieber in Entwicklungshilfe und Bildung ausgegeben, wär das vielleicht besser gewesen. Aber was weiss ich schon.
