    Very cheap when you consider...

    1. Iraq is free and democratic.
    2. Iraq poses a shining example to the rest of the Middle East.
    3. A stable Middle East is safer for America.
    4. There will be ecconomic payoff in the long run (yes, oil is nice while we still have some left on this planet).

    I would put a price tag on this investment of... PRICELESS
