Now that you mention it, Glen, I can't say I've ever thought about how much the much talked-about UN-AU peacekeeping force will cost. How much are we paying to "keep the peace" in Iraq? I just read today that President Bush could demand up to $200 billion to pay for our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan (you don't hear about it, but we're still waging war over there six years later). And the £2 million that stupid old man won is equivalent to some $4 million. Not quite a hundred billion, but I know I'd like to have that much money and not know what to do with it.
