Ok. Here is a question I would like to ask each of the candidates:

“if, by some prescient power, one was able to quantify the cost? Namely, if 5 years post-invasion, Iran has cost the US the exact same amount(in blood and treasure) that the invasion of Iraq cost? And that post-invasion Iran has reached the exact same level of stability and political maturity as Iraq, 5 years post-invasion?

=====================================================
Let’s say that we go with the discount model. No stability or political maturity.

How much would that cost?
