costs

And as for getting other countries to pay the costs of the war, is that really a possibility? Afterall, the French already did their part to financially support Iraq--they financed Sadaam's entire army (though here I think we should also give credit to the Russians, who were also very generous with their ___days same as cash policy as long as you were buying guns). To ask them to help pay for deposing a dictator when the dictator still owes them money is a bit unfair.
