The main thesis of the book has been criticized by a number of academics, including economist and author John Lott, Richard Zerbe, Associate Dean at the University of Washington School of Public Affairs, and Texas A&M University finance professor Edgar Browing. These academics have disagreed with various of the methodologies used in reaching the $3 trillion figure, including attaching a financial figure to the loss of soldiers' lives, declaring the subsequent rise in global oil prices a direct result of the Iraq War, and their reliance on the controversial Lancet surveys to determine the number of Iraqi deaths caused by the war.[2] On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 5:44 PM, Gruss Gott <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Sam wrote: >>> Iraq, alone, will cost more than that. >> >> I don't think so. >> > > Well, that's one opinion. > > The other is by 2 of the world's leading economists, one a Nobel > laureate, after an exhaustive quantitative analysis: > > http://www.amazon.com/Three-Trillion-Dollar-War-Conflict/dp/0393067017/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234662078&sr=8-8 > > Oh, and their figure includes a time factor which we're going to exceed. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:288496 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
