I just heard a U.S. politician on the news commenting that the war in Iraq is now costing the U.S. government (and, in reality, the U.S. taxpayer) $5,000.00 per SECOND! Day and night, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. I can't picture numbers that large!(We're paying less for our current involvement in Afghanistan, I'm sure. That doesn't justify it, though...)

I believe that estimate to be on the conservative side. I've heard that the cost per second is double that: $10,000 per second.
Amazing! That is just so incredible. And we can't feed the hungry of the world (or our own countries) because that wouldn't allow them to fend for themselves, pull up their sock and take responsibility, etc., etc. Ludicrous.
