YOU say cost is no object. So, how much are you willing to pay from your own bank account? $1 million? Less than that? How much less than that? Everyone has a price, and you are simply foolish to say you'll pay any price. What you probably mean is that you don't mind OTHER people paying.

The people who think war is great, generally don't look at the costs at all. This week's issue of The Economist (which, by the way, favors a war) is at least willing to estimate the costs, and according to their estimates, the costs could exceed $1.6 trillion in the next ten years. Think about that, and then tell me how much you're willing to pay, and whether you might be willing to pay less for an alternative.
