5. $200 billion spent on Iraq War to take down Saddam....
....1,065 dead U.S. military troops and 7,500 seriously injured and disabled, 100,000 plus Iraqi civilians dead in last 18 months, unaccounted for number of Iraqi soldiers killed when U.S. tanks with front bulldozer plows covered them in their trenches, $422 billion U.S. federal deficit in fiscal 2004 with no economic improvement to show to the average American, doubling of gasoline prices in the last 18 months, millions of quality American jobs lost to overseas outsourcing, American Bill of Rights trashed, Al-Queida recruiting has accelerated 60 fold, on and on and on!

That has been the cost of taking Saddam down. Saddam has not appeared before a world court for his crimes. He will be tried by Iraqis and think of this, he could go free and rise again.
