But what about arms merchants and other military contractors? They make
money when conflict or the perception of threats exist.
I've nothing against the free market, as all of you know, but it appears
right now that Pentagon-connected businesses are thriving. There also
seems to be a positive feedback loop between such things as arms sales
and the Pentagon. Why is and has the US government been pushing arms
sales to nations like Indonesia and Turkey -- where they are used to
terrorize the populace?
