Not apples and oranges for the point I'm making.

And again, governments, lobbying efforts ... Just repeating these words 
doesn't make the case.


It's also true that some of the people who influence political decisions 
about making War profit from that War -- the Bush family is a good example, 
profiting from the war on Iraq through Bush investments in defense 
contractors (including United Defense, where BushJr made a recent, highly 
publicized appearance) via the Carlyle Group; Cheney on that $1million per 
annum Halliburton gravy train, etc. & etc.>>

None of this makes your case either.   And, frankly, I'd like to see you make 
your case.   I have no love for these people.   Instead you just rant.
