But war is big business to certain American companies. The American government would at best try and get their own country in order first, but there is no profit in that. The destruction in Iraq is total devastation, to the Iraqi people and their property. This is a war that America cant win and cant afford to lose. The Chinese and Russians are watching this the way that a cat watches a mouse before it pounces. Take heed America.
