I strongly disagree with you that this war is all about making money for the oil and arms industries, but I agree with you that it is absolutely ludicrous that the UK is allowing Iraq to buy sophisticated military equipment at this time.

I would certainly question why American corporations like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are in on this event in Jordan WHILE Hussein's folks are there. I know the article states that the UK arms of Lockheed is there, but all in all it IS an American-based company.

The second question is why is the US Government allowing LH and Raytheon do an exhibit for this event? Shouldn't national security come before defense industry profit?

I don't think that this war is about money and oil, but it's absolutely insane that American companies are considering selling to our enemies.
