When I heard that amount for the first time......

The wonderful & frightening world of...

Wow! Dubya could make a lot of paper balls out of that huge money stockpile and fire these against those bloody terrorists that are spread throughout Iraq and Afghanistan.
Equally good: buy some tomahawks, as these, after all, are known to be very effective weapons against terrorism - when fired, of course!

. Oh yeah, and those frequently starting-off aircraft from carriers, dropping bombs once in a while, are very well helping to establish democracy here & there

. Oh well, all these elaborate methods are very good, but expensive. Formerly, it only took a small amount of money to establish the dicta...erm a little peaceful government here & there

. Hmm. What about re-building? All that scrapped infrastructure and whatnot must be made up again! Besides the congress, isn't there some organisation, normally well-known to be quite ignorant towards very useful anti-terrorist foreign policy, asking infamous amounts of membership shares as return service

(hence shares not paid), that cares in most cases for such utterly desolated countries? Yes there is, time to go diplomatic and ask the UN for help.

Btw, secure sources say that there's also a lot of terrorists sitting in Syria all over the place, requiring the same succesful abatement arrangements. And in Iran. And... well, ask the congress, "terrorism" is the catchphrase.

edit: dubya's hypnotising gaze influenced me that I messed up the smiley tags...

Funny thing is it won't even be enough, either (IIRC only $20 billion of that amount is for Iraqi reconstruction).

Of course, there's no way Congress will appropriate sufficient money for Afghanistan after OK'ing this this request - chances are that country will go straight back to hell.
