The Bush administration has wasted $456 billion on the Iraq War. No Americans will ever see any of that. Boston.com has a slideshow on what the money could have done, which is slightly different from a previous post with the same idea. Granted that this is from Boston, some are geared toward Boston. On the list:

1. 2,949 Newton North High Schools - the most expensive in Mass.
2. 30 Big Digs - the expansive tunnel system under Boston.
3. Free gas for 1.2 years - instead of fighting over it, just buy it.
4. Convert to ethanol - using only 15% of the money.
5. 14.5 million years of Harvard education - "No child left behind."
6. 1 year of Medicare benefits
7. Baseball contract for 52,615 years at $52 million
8. Feed & educate the poor for 5.5 years

Why don't we end this damn war and spend our money on things that matter. Or, instead of fighting, let's just burn it; it would be the same as the war, just without the lives lost.
