There's no money to be made in disaster relief. In going to war they get to borrow billions upon billions from the federal reserve and then pay it all back at interest with tax dollars. War and reconstruction companies that are outwright bribing these politicians with campaign contributions and in return get no bid contracts to build oil pipeline, and practically replace Iraq's economy so that it becomes little more than a colony to these corporations where, because of the small worth of their currency, these companies cn save money by overriding supply and demand. It makes life worse for our people and their people, and its against freetrade and the intent of the Founding Fathers. It breaks every principle this country claims to hold dear. But those in favor of the war like to sit behind colorfully painted curtains and look at them all day as talking point promoting a slanted view of reality blare in their ear teaching them there's no reason to objectively see the otherside of the story through ridicule.

My two cents, which would have been worth 3.5 cents before Bush was president.
