On the other hand, how much wealth was destroyed on 9/11? There is
no way to know for sure how valuable dealing with terrorism will be,
but one thing is clear: not dealing with it will be an unmitigated
disaster.

Working to build a successful democracy in Iraq seems a better use of
wealth than simply bombing the terrorists and potential terrorists out of
existence, no?
