you did not answer my question? Who gives a crap, maaan. Your question is just fulla shet. As for your analogy with Japan and Germany, what argument are you trying to make? I ain' TRYIN' to make nothin' I done made it. That Iraq was once a freindly ally we needed to sell weapons to, and now things changed? But the record clearly does not support such a position. Rather the record stands loud and clear that profits matter more than ethics.... Hehe. Riiight. Your "ethics" is just another means of garnering profit. All behavior gives either profit or liability.

Rather the record stands loud and clear that profits matter more than ethics.... Of course. That is always the case. That's why we did arms and oil business with the evil Saddam Huessein in the 1980s (profits over ethics). That's why we built up Saddam's army in the 1980s (profits over ethics). Then let Saddam Huessein run over Kuwait, just to kick him out again (fighting our own weapons in some cases)(profits over ethics). That's why we're now trying to dispose of Saddam. Because profits matter more than ethics. Some might argue that the ethical thing to do would be to get rid of Saddam, but we certainly aren't using ethical means to get rid of him or going to war in an ethical manner with the support of the UN. That $75B for this war has to go somewhere, into the pockets of Bush's wealthy defense contractor cronies.
