                You have touched on the Eisenhower warning of the "military-industrial complex" and now with civilan sub-contractors doing a lot of the dirty work, the warning is ever more ominous.

                True, Saddam could have avoided it and Bush could have avoided it, but they didn't and here we are.

                Unfortunately there are always those who profit hugely from conflict, without a scratch or loss of any kind. Until that is changed somehow, war is an industry that won't be abandoned, imo.
