"Still, the most impressive fact is how little this war for the future of the world is costing - in terms of blood and treasure - when compared to other wars. Vietnam - a favorite, if fallacious, analogy - claimed more than 57,000 lives and cost nearly half a trillion inflation-adjusted dollars. World War II took some 400,000 U.S. lives and cost more than $2 trillion in today's dollars. And what about the costs of not fighting? 9/11 claimed 3,000 lives in one day. The sum to replace a chunk of Manhattan could easily top $100 billion, not to mention the toll on the broader economy. Yet surrender is exactly what Democrats - and liberal media outlets - seem to be prescribing." story.news.yahoo.com
