According to this site, the war in Iraq has as of this moment cost about $352 billion: http://nationalpriorities.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=182
I recently heard that the US claims to have killed 15,000-30,000 insurgents, Iraqi military and foreign fighters in the course of the war. If you take the largest number of people whom the US says that it intended to kill and divide the total cost per death, the cost per enemy killed is over $11.7 million!
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to pay Iraqis to be peaceful?
