From the Associated Press, a list of other things W's Iraq War funding can pay for:

Congress and President Bush have so far provided $119.4 billion for the war in Iraq. Here are examples of what else that money could buy.

--It could send 748,495 people, nearly everyone in Jacksonville, Fla., to Harvard University for four years. Based on Harvard's 2004-05 school year costing $39,880 for tuition, fees, room and board, multiplied by four.

And I'll add my own to the AP's already long list -- $119.4 billion dollars could fund 477,600 small theatres to the tune of a quarter million dollars each. Consider that most small theatres squeak by on less than fifty thousand a year, this could boost the arts enormously.

But no. Killing people and blowing shit up are much more important uses of your tax dollars, aren't they?

Fucking bastards.
