Shortly after the units disaster for the Mars Climate Orbiter, @DPFink worked out that horsepower per acre was a surprisingly convenient unit of flux (about 0.2 W/m^2) and toyed with the idea of sneaking it into a paper.
Today is the 15th anniversary of the greatest foreign policy blunder of my lifetime, the invasion of Iraq, 3/20/03. Don't say "nobody could have foreseen..." I was in the streets of NY with 250,000 people who did. Plenty of people knew the war was based on lies and greed.
In addition to the vast destruction and lives lost, the total expense exceeds a staggering 3 trillion dollars. That's about $30,000 per household in the US. Imagine what a responsible, forward thinking government could have done with that much money.

Garwin and other experts see Iran nuclear deal as a valuable strategic asset: static01.nyt.com/packages/pd… They would know. Will Trump listen?
