Like in the Godfather...when Sollozzo kidnaps Tom Hagen.... "blood is a big expense".
Lost lives mean lost productivity and societal fragmentation. No profit there...at all.
Does War Actually Make Money?
I have read numerous threads claiming that war drives the economy and is actually a money making scenario for the nation involved. In money making i dont mean that they do it on purpose, as this would be condemmed for obvious reasons, but i find it hard to believe that a nations government can spend so much money on the entire process and anyone can feel that its profitable. Sure certain business with thrive but in the scheme of things surely it is detrimental in the long term. Am i wrong?

I do like your Godfather analogy but i was more directing the thread at a finacial perspective. Why is there this belief that so many prosper from it?Originally Posted by CrackerJax

Because it's an easy way to smear a cause you don't believe in.
It's basically untrue...but if you throw enough mud....something sticks.
Banks make money off war. Just like any other loan.
war has boosted the economy in the past (WWII) but now its putting us deep into a hole our grand children will have a hard time getting out of

CrackerJ i am glad someone is talking sense. I only usually visit the politics forums for a brief visit but wanted to get an opinion from someone from the US. Not sure if thats where you are from but that seems to be where the most people believe what i have mentioned. I guess most agree with your diagnosis.

Yah.... it's the war sinking us in debt.... not Obama...Uh huh....
Kennedy was assassinated because he tried to stop the war machine. Helicopters, tanks, armor, etc, everything needs to be bought.
