What's 4.1 Billion Dollars nowadays? It's only pocketchange. Sure, we could've paid off a smidgen of our national debt, or refunded more tax money, or bought every American citizen a new Lexus, but in the end the money went to a good cause. /Sarcasm off
Hmmmm, 4.1 Billion divided by 380 million Americans is around $10.75 each. Where can I find that magic Lexus dealership?
We knowingly dealt with Saddam Hussein, for whatever reasons, right or wrong. It's unfair to saddle the Iraqi people with a debt incurred by a tyrant that we supported (at the time). France and every other country that lent money to the tyrant should do the same.
