You wanna know another terrible stat? One of the reasons the US used for opposing the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was the cost - about $100 mil to run it for a year.

$100 mil is the same amount of money the US spent every day they were bombing the former Yugoslavia.

Priorities, apparently.
