Quote for the Day

"The funding for the Iraq War is now in the hundreds of billions of dollars. [Economist] Joseph Stiglitz projects that total costs could go to $2 trillion. What would a trillion dollars have done for research into alternative fuels? I don't know, but something -- something! What do you get for a trillion dollars in Iraq? Nothin'. It's just nuts!"
-- Andrew Bacevich, Drifting down the Path to Perdition
