How would you spend it....
The estimates for the final tab on the Iraq war if we get out in the next 2 or 3 years is expected to be anywhere from 400 Billion to over 2 Trillion.

My question is this.......if the Iraq war had never happened....and we could spend that money anyway we wanted (other than on ourselves personally)......how would you spend it?

My top 5 picks in no particular order are:

1. Health care for all in America.
2. Help for those suffering with AIDS in Africa.
3. Help for those starving around the world....Niger springs to mind.
4. Environment
5. Overpopulation

3. Alternative energy is my highest priority
"Free energy" to be exact. It has the potential to change the world as we know it.

1. Research for alternative energy technologies (cold fusion, hydrogen..)
