CostOfWar.com link to external site

Along the same lines as my post some time back on the cost of the war in Iraq, this site lets you compare the cost of, say funding school programs (31,473,652 children could attend a year of Head Start), providing public housing (2,139,600 additional housing units), or feeding the world's hunger (fully funded global anti-hunger efforts for 9 years) with the obviously more important and Christian act of invading another country, deposing their leader, and occupying it with no real idea of what the hell to do. Also See: The National Priorities site has a ton of calculators etc showing how spending of all sorts could be put to better use globally, nationally, and even locally (down to the city). What are your priorities?
