Guns and Profits

Revolution is spreading in the Middle East.  It can only benefit the rest of the world if the old guard is tossed out.  So why are we letting Syria and Iran put brakes to the train to freedom?  Who would complain if we busted Syria and Iran back to the stone age?


Apparently us.  Not me, of course.  I personally feel any jerk who starts slaughtering innocents in the name of stability should be assassinated.  By us I mean American military armaments corporations.  They don't sell anything directly to Syria or Iran, but they sell a LOT to everyone around them.  With the Cold War long over and China happy to avoid a shooting war when they can take their sweet time and eventually buy America, only the Middle East is left to 'defend' against.  


Syria and Iran buy lots of Russian guns and rockets and war planes and tanks and everything else evil regimes need to control the populace and frighten the neighbors.  Remove the threat of nuclear Iran and Syria dealing weapons to every terrorist in the region, and profits will go down.


I fear that the American military/industrial complex is conducting a War on Peace.
