How much ?!!! Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes have a very interesting take on the cost of the iraq war over at Truthdig. Instead of just the cost of the military operations they are including the payments for war pensions and the cost of lost investment opportunities amongst a whole host of other things. The total figure is pretty gigantic and it would be interesting to see what the eqivalent UK figure is. I bet it will give Gordon the grumps.  ¶ 1:45 pm
