For the price of the Iraq War, we could give every human being two iPhones.
There are 6.7 billion human beings. The iPhone costs $199. So giving every human being two iPhones would cost $2.67 trillion, which is less than Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes' estimate of $3 trillion for the cost of the Iraq War.
