I'm as against the Iraq war as anyone at this forum, but let's not be so naive as to believe that this war is somehow 'draining' the US economy. The opposite is true. The economy becomes more efficient during wartime. America is making billions off of Iraq's resources. It is the nature of capatalism, like Malcolm X said, "capatalism is parasitic, show me a capatalist, and I'll show you a bloodsucker". America is sucking the resources of Iraq dry. Capatalism thrives off of destroying and rebiulding, the military industrial complex is booming! There was an article in my local paper about all the military businesses in the midwest that supply arms and resources to the US military. They are all really excited about the war, cause for them, business has never been better! They are cleaning up! Business is booming! War contracts and people who invest in war are making billions and that money is right back into the economy and the economy is growing.It's sad but true.

But only a few. Most are screwed. You are screwed. You won't make any money due to the War. Cheney will. Other dudes will. Your lives won't become better.
