Just out of curiousity, what % interest rate is the war in Iraq getting our government?

I'm not talking about the huge profits that Bush-affiliated oil companies will make in the next 15-30 years, but if we're going to use profitability as a yardstick of government performance, I think that one is the biggest loser out there.

I always was taught that one of the roles of government was to fund certain things that WOULDN'T be profitable but are still in the best interest of society. . . Presumably until such time as the markets could adapt and support them without government intervention or subsidy. . .
