8. Hold it. We did smash Mighty Grenada before it could send its fleet to invade Miami.

At the bargain price of about $200,000,000. And, just look at all we've gained from that glorious victory.

10. Oops. You're so very right. I will in the future remember to

mention our illustrious victory over the armed insurgents inside the nation of Grenada.

With the price tag you mention, it should have never slipped my mind!

3. Those figures make me ill. How many people have died or were maimed for life?

How many are left with rubble for a country?

All that money wasted.

We need to do a better job of taking care of the home front.

Folks are starving and homeless in our own country. Please help.

....back to members of our government for it which is why those members think trickle down economics is such a good thing.
