Which, for an 18-year period, is couch change for a $10 trillion/year economy, especially for an endeavor that stopped (albeit far too late) an ongoing ethnic cleansing. Cost of the Iraq endeavor: <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/07/AR2008030702846.html" rel="nofollow">$3 trillion</a>, for a conflict which *sparked* ethnic cleansing in multiple areas of the country. Having perspective: priceless. re cost of Bosia:
