Enough to pay for all the fighting on all sides of WWII nine times I believe (don't want to do research because quite frankly it doesn't matter I have complete confidence with 1 trillion dollars anything can be done).
But is it the right thing to do? Even tho we throw trillions of dollars at the situation, it can happen again. This area is not situated for development. I believed it should be abandoned and instead of throwing money away at a lost cause, but it towards building something safe.
My two cents.
Yes, if it costs an enormous amount of money the only thing that absolutely needs to be rebuilt is the port. I'd have to agree there. However if there is the political will, the entire city can be rebuilt.
