Analysts estimate that Mr. Bush's Iraq adventure could cost the country a staggering $2.0 trillion says NY Times. 2 Trillion dollars is a lot of money it is the equivalent of UK's GDP or two and a half times the combined GDP's of Pakistan and Bangladesh. This kind of money is more than enough to gift the entire World population a decent gadget. So here are the numbers -
1 Trillion = 1,000 billion
Word Population = 6 billion
Cost of War / World population = 2000 billion / 6 billion = $333 for every human on the planet

secondo un analisi fatta la guerra in iraq è costata fin ora $2 mila miliardi di dollari.. pari all'intero pil dell'inghilterra o addirittura 2 volte quello del pakistan,
se tale cifra era distribuita a ogni essere vivente della terra ( ammettendo che siano 6 miliardi) ne venivano a testa circa 330 $.. (il resto viene da sè)
