The current direct costs of war are around 0.5 trilions of dollars (non-direct costs are estimated much higher then this).
0.5 trilions of dollars could made this world much safer, if it was dedicated to energy efficiency and savings. Even lesser costs of oil, would shut up all those guys like Chavez, Putin and Ahmadinezad.

I see Bush as worst president of USA ever
