You know, what. I think you're on to something. I think this study should be conducted regardless because if we look at Afghanistan/IRAQ war, the Taliban are the CLEAR winners while the USA pumped trillions in. Obviously, it would be considered anti-American, but I see this as something to be studied as something neutral to see its impact of how money(used in war for tools, planes, tanks guns etc) isn't the tool that should be used to resolve conflicts. Or even argue that money won't buy it even.
