Only $1 Billion?

In a war that has cost American tax payers nearly $1 trillion dollars and counting, the City of Baghdad-- the capital of occupied Iraq-- wants the United States "to apologize and pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast walls and Humvees since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein."

That seems like a very low dollar amount. I would think almost a full decade of war in one of the most ancient cities in all the world, waged by the most powerful army in world history, would do more than a billion dollars in damages.

Maybe Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld can chip in from their oil proceeds to help the cause.
