If as you say the average IQ is 100,maybe we should spend more cash on education than making armaments?

The average IQ is always 100 because that's how IQ is defined. IQ scores are not an absolute measure of anything, they are a measure of relative position within a distribution centered at 100.
Some argue that IQ is useless for exactly this reason.
