In short, even our “moderate” estimate may significantly underestimate the cost of America’s involvement in Iraq. And our estimate does not include any of the costs implied by the enormous loss of life and property in Iraq itself.
简而言之，即使是我们“温和”估计也可能大大低估美国介入伊拉克的成本。而且，我们的估计并不包含在伊拉克境内巨大的生命和财产损失的任何费用。
