Oregon paid $2.6 BILLION on Iraq?

I just ran across these stats which show how much the Iraqi Occupation has cost each individual state so far.

Oregon's share: $2.6 Billion

What else might Oregonians have done with $2.6 billion??? That's $759.92 for every individual in the state according to the most recent census figures. Family of five? $3799.60

For that matter, how much more stable might Afghanistan be right now if that $2.6 billion had been invested creating jobs? Given their something like 40% unemployment rate, I'd think that would have a HUGE impact and severely undercut the resurgent Taliban.
