Wars make lots of money for the private companies that make the weapons and clean up afterwards. Might as well cross the Iraqi border while they're there and make a few more $$ for the good ole boys back home.
Yes, it's profitable to companies like boeing, lockheed martin, etc., but on a whole, wars are a financial drain and burden on the economy.
