$18,500 per Iraqi

Something in my head snapped as I was driving around.

US expenditures in Iraq thus far: Roughly $500,000,000,000

Poupulation of Iraq(prewar): Roughly 27,000,000

That means we've spent about $18,500 per Iraqi.

Using the UN estimate of 6 per family, it's $111,000 per family.

In Iraq today, people are setting IED's for $5 to $20.
