That's the cost of one (1) 9-11 type terrorist attack.
What would the cost have been to our economy if Saddam had choked off oil?
What would the cost be to us long term if the US allowed a foreign country to attempt an assasination of a US President? (as Saddam did).
What would the cost be if Iraq fell to Iran?
What is the cost of a murderous tyrant who threatens not only his neighbors and the region, but also his own people?
