"For the United States, the price of victory goes far beyond the dollars spent on warheads, foreign aid, soldiers, propaganda, and intelligence. It includes, for instance, time wasted, talent misdirected, secrecy imposed, and confidence impaired. . . . Trade was distorted and growth impeded. . . . Ultimately, the cost of America's effort was felt as a waste of spirit."
