war is profitable for some, no question about it. After all, aren't the three basic human emotions, greed, fear and greed? Isn't war ALWAYS about what the other guy has, or his designs on your stuff? Or are you griping about the companies that make money off of war? Exactly whom do you think supplies the military, another arm of the government? Or are you suggesting that, for example, General Electric went to the Prez. and said " Hey our stock price and sales are down, we need you to start a war so that we can sell the government instruments of death?"

Are these what you call war time profiteers? Maybe GE should tell the government that they won't make them the MiniGun because it might be used to hurt people. Actually, I'm kind of pleased with the fact that the company I work for doesn't make anything designed to hurt people and we try to bring happiness to people's lives.
