I'll forgive you this once Baal, because I happen to like you, but being conservative doesn't make me necessarily stupid. Try and keep that in mind
Capitalism is based upon profit as both the motivation for competition (hence excellence) and success. Its a system which works remarkably well, though not perhaps as Adam Smith quite imagined. Private industry profiting off of the war is fine. Its when politicians -or buisness men like JP Morgan who got us into WW 1- engineer a war in order to improve buisnesses they own, have ties to, or are beholden to, that I object. I believe we can all agree the war in Afghanistan was avoidable, and Iraq was unnecessary. Few, here at least, will contend with that. Evidence such as this suggests Bush is running the most corrupt campaign since, well, Grant. Or maybe Taft.
