Here are just some things that GWB could have done with his $87 billion instead of blowing the hell out of Iraq.

1. Rebuilt the equivelent of the World Trade Towers...In every capital city in the United States.
2. Hired 2.5 MILLION more teachers for the United State's public schools.
3. Provided basic subsistence level living requirements for four or five years for every single human on the planet.
4. Rebuilt Afghanistan's infrastructure, provided money for every Afghani's education, provided power and water to the entire country, given them career training, job skills, technology and hope and still had enough left over to pay off the rest of the world's debt to the IMF/World Bank, with plenty of change.
5. Built a small fleet of starships and colonized Mars.

And many more items of interest.

1. Yeah right.......

I admit -- it is a lot of money. But just taking item 4 in account, the list is obvious bullshit.
