    No buddy. Wars cause recessions which always occur during wars.

    many modern wars are a con; rob the poor to enrich the rich, starve innocents to fatten up the already morbidly fat suits.

    "Protecting our foreign interests" is political speak for stealing resources, and it's not really a secret. I mean if you asked a general you'd get a reply like "well wtf do you think I mean?".

    Heard it. And if you ask Obama you'll hear that it's not a war . Just kinetic military action.

    because it does - for some people, and it fuels innovation as well - that does not mean it is a positive thing though

    Well it does make money for Arms and munitions dealers.The lodgistics companies who feed, fuel and carry the war machine make a killing too.

    Its the tax payers who are burdened and made poor with the costs.

    The company selling them to the army is making a profit doing business. Thus making money.

    War does make money for the people who have way more money than they will ever need.

    The former vice president comes to mind and his company Haliaburton

    Your logic eludes me. Describe how. How does it make money. You blame G.W. on his war starting the recession why are we not all millionaires?

    If you can't understand the concept of war profiteering, I really can't explain it to you.

    There is only concept. There is no long term feasibility. No probable theory and besides popularized opinion no valid argument for it.
