Description

A report published by the American Academy in December 2002 finds that war with Iraq could have extremely costly consequences for the United States. William D. Nordhaus estimates that the economic cost of the war could run as high as $200 billion if it ends quickly and smoothly, but if it ends poorly the cost could be as high as $1 trillion; Steven E. Miller considers a number of potentially disastrous military and strategic outcomes of war for the United States that have received scant public attention; Carl Kaysen, John D. Steinbruner and Martin B. Malin examine the broader national security strategy behind the move toward a preventive war against Iraq.
