We've got 5 years.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq by US armed forces. According to estimates, the amount that the US has spent on the war thus far is approximately $504 billion. According to estimates of current US population, there are approximately 304 million people in the country. That means that for every American, $1,657 were spent on the Iraq War. What would you have done with your money?

Screw the recession. I would buy a digital camera and a trip to Disney World.

I would have bought scalped 50-yardline seats at the Pats/Giants Superbowl of Infamy and Awesomeness.

I get to gloat about that til next February, right?

Finance my trip to another country! A warmer country that likes to party... like Spain.

If I got the cash 5 years ago, I would have flown to Spain for my cousin's wedding.

If I got the cash now, I would fly to Ireland and bike across the country.
