I don't dispute that corporations around the WORLD saw $$ signs at the onset of the War.
So we agree... in that case, join me in the next logical step. US Elections are fuelled by lobbyist's dollars; government policy is shaped by the dollar; the invasion of Iraq was for money in the form of oil and contracts. In other words, it was not a holy crusade or a moral war, but an exercise in capitalist expansion!
[T]he same could be said for U.K. companies like Aegis Defence Ltd ...
Agreed; my argument was not anti-American but anti-capitalist
in the sense that profit is not a valid motive for war (not against capitalism per se before I get accused of being a communist!!)
So again, your arguement is without merit. The U.S. is not the only country with contractors in Iraq.
No... my argument does not hinge on the US being the
only country in Iraq ... its about the reasons behind the war, not the participants in it. It is sufficient that the US was
one of the countries involved: indeed, it was the country most heavily involved.
