Armstrong: Cure cancer or pacify Iraq?

American cycling hero Lance Armstrong, a Texan and (former?) friend of President Bush, is speaking out against the Iraq war.

Armstrong: Cure cancer or pacify Iraq?: "“The biggest downside to a war in Iraq is what you could do with that money,” Armstrong said through gritted teeth. “What does a war in Iraq cost a week? A billion? Maybe a billion a day? The budget for the National Cancer Institute is four billion. That has to change. Polls say people are much more afraid of cancer than of a plane flying into their house or a bomb or any other form of terrorism.”"
