Bridge of the Horns

The Bridge of the Horns is a proposed 29km bridge that would link Djibouti and Yemen.  The project is estimated to cost either $20 billion or $200 billion.  To really be effective, it would have to include additional infrastructure, such as an international airport and rail lines to Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sudan.  Plus building the twin cities of light, Al Noor.

As long as our government is determined to waste trillions of dollars per years, why not invest, say, $10 billion into this project to kick-start it in exchange for a tiny percent of ownership?
