The $3 trillion Response to Bin Laden

link here to article

This article (via Manan Shukla) compares the cost of our "war on terror" with other wars that brought more benefits along with them. Bin Laden stated that he could bleed the US to bankruptcy by our reaction to his attacks. We are not bankrupt but $3trillion is not chicken feed. It seems like the technological benefit that we got was the predator drone missile.

This story reminds me off something a medical doctor once told me. He said that a large number of our illnesses are caused by the over reaction of our immune system. Arthritis is one of them but there are others as well.
