Quote of the day--does this make sense?

"The U.S. will spend more on the war in Afghanistan this year, adjusting for inflation, than we spent on the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War and the Spanish-American War combined."    --Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times
