Default OT: An Interesting Factoid

For the money the US has spent in fighting the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, we could have built each citizen of those countries a $300,000 home -- and the powerplants and water facilities they would need for those homes. Makes you wonder if that would have made a better impression on those people...

Heard that on MSNBC, BTW.
