6. The other day I took the cost of war figures from
the www.costofwar.com website and divided it by the estimated number of Iraqis that have been killed.

$147,562,000,000 divided by 15,000

It means we have paid $9,837,466.00 for each Iraqi that has died.

That means our inital contribution of $15 million to the tsunami aid was equal to about 1 3/4 Iraqi.

Cruel? Blunt? That's the kind of calculation they conduct in a think tank where the real cruelty is plotted and planned.

The figures above are from about three days agao. As Sen. Leahy said, we spend about 7 million before breakfast (in America) to bring democracy to an oil country.
