How Much Is Too Much To Spend On a Preemptive War?
As of this third week in March 2008, the wars in the Mideast (Afghanistan and Iraq) have cost us $538.6 Billion. That is $5,686 per U.S. family.

· $538.6 Billion dollars would buy ALL the fuel for ALL the commuters in Minnesota for 116 years and four months. (At 12,000 miles per year, 20 mpg, $3.10 per gallon)
· $538.6 Billion dollars would pay a year of premiums on a $955 per month health insurance policy for EVERY uninsured person in the United States. (46,995,000 as of August, 2007)
