Dave Winer - Why We Fight

Dave Winer says we go to war because it is profitable.  Take a look at Halliburton's 5 year chart and draw your own conclusions:

Correlation does not necessary imply causation.

[Charlie]

I agree with the first commenter. Please do not attempt to mislead us.

I grew up in a comfortable middle class home as a result of my fathers career in the military-industrial complex.

So I would ask - Does your paycheck depend on denial of reality ?

[Danny]

Correlation does not necessarily imply causation, nor does "draw your own conclusions".

However in this particular case, there is unambiguous evidence [1] for a direct connection between the invasion of Iraq and the fortunes of Haliburton (and hence Cheney & co.).

Q: What is the quickest way to get public money into private hands?

A: I'll tell you, war. War is profitable, but only to those with private hands.

[Vik Thomas]

We don't go to war for profit, there are other reasons. I don't know like Pearl Harbor or the World Trade Center and sometimes there are little sidebar actions like the Phillapines, Guam, or Iraq to not only strengthen our implacement but to keep the enemy from being all over our back. But to stay at war is very profitable for everybody who makes the smallest bolt for the most insignificant piece of equipment to the stealthiest aircraft, and designers of new and upcoming equipment. Not just Halliburton!
