Cost of Iraq to USA

Interesting little site with a running total of the rising cost of the occupation of Iraq since the whole thing kicked off last year -and this is just the USA figures. I can't be alone in thinking that that kind of money could have been spent better; perhaps bribes to all Iraqi citizens to overthrow Saddam? Given the previous blog entry I suspect that offering an instant first world income to all Iraqis would have been cheaper. What we need now is a site that calculates to rising cost of putting humans on Mars ... that'd be sobering too.
