Wrong. The Gulf War cost America relatively little since our allies reimbursed us for most of the bill. I saw the numbers recently in an article, which I can dig up if you are interested. The latest estimate for a new Iraq war is around $100B, and I doubt we would get reimbursed this time. And that is not counting rebuilding afterwards. It is a bad time for tax cuts. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
