Looks like our congressmen and women are making good profits on the war...

Lawmakers heavily invested in defense - Yahoo! News

Jeezus, if one day I have to turn around and admit that Noam Chomsky is more right than wrong, I'm gonna pull a Chris McCandless and disappear from the world.

Helio, It's nice to see that you might be coming around to the idea that certain groups of people are profiting obscenely from this war.

It's one thing to profit obscenely. Sometimes you get lucky on an investment. It's another to see that a war is going on, be a congressman, and to invest in the sector that the government pays (perhaps by necessity, which is not to discount the selection process shenanigans) and put yourself in a position to have a personal interest beyond the country's for continuing the war.

Because I hold myself to a high standard of integrity, I tend to think US Reps and Senators do as well.
