Re: Who is really profiting from the war in Iraq?

Well, all I can say, beyond the fact that I seem to have become your personal obsession, is that if the people who, on balance, have more invested in defense industries and therefore stand to profit more from the Iraq war, are also the ones who, on balance, are more likely to oppose it, that means they are more politically virtuous than I ever would have guessed.

Wait -- the Democrats in Congress are politically virtuous? That makes only a little more sense than to say that about the Republicans.

Are you SURE about these statistics, LS?
