For the price of the Iraq War, we could've bought every donkey in the world a fully loaded 2008 BMW Z4 convertible.
There are around 44 million donkeys on earth. The BMW Z4 convertible costs $52,400 fully loaded. Buying each donkey a BMW Z4 would cost $2.31 trillion, or $690 billion less than than Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes' estimate of $3 trillion for the total cost of the Iraq War.
