What is the annual budget now 2.5 Trillion? So what is that 1.4% of the money our government will spend this decade? The middle east is one of the few places in the world that isn't accepting democracy and free markets. If we could turn that trend around by implementing a stable and democratic, free enterprize democracy right in the heart of the middle east, isn't that worth more than 1.4%? It has cost us .001% of our populatoin so far. We lose ten times that number every day naturally.
