This is amazing. Cost Of War
The cost of the war Iraq (just Iraq, not the whole war on terror) is fast approaching $200Bn for the US ( I have no idea what it has cost the UK and others).
To put this in perspective:
UK total revenue (2004): $834.9Bn
UK total expenditure(2004): $896.7Bn
US Foreign aid(2003 Budget proposal):$11.4Bn
Current estimated cost of putting men on Mars: $600Bn
Coca Cola Total Revenue (2004): $18.16Bn
Cost of ending world hunger (world health org estimate circa 2001): $40Bn
Estimated cost of finding a cure for most cancers: $25Bn
US department of education annual budget: $71.5Bn
Bill Gates wealth: $63Bn
World Wide Fund For Nature annual spending (2002/2003): $0.27Bn
Queen Elizabeth II wealth (forbes): $0.42Bn
Estimated cost of basic AIDS treatment & prevention programs in Africa (world health org): $3Bn
USA & Europe total funding for basic AIDS treatment & prevention programs in Africa: $0.3Bn
Ok. Some of the numbers may be a bit unreliable. I’ve no idea how they worked out the cost of curing cancer for instance. Still, interesting numbers. I feel a bit better about my mortgage application now.

The most frightening thing about these numbers is that I would sleep with you for less than one ten-thousandth of a percent of Bill Gates wodge. Does this make me cheap?
