But the war expenditures (which are estimated on
November 13, 2009 to be $1.6 trillion, ignoring the cost
suffered by the Iraqi and the Afghan peoples) benefited
directly oil corporations and the military complex. This is
because as more bombs are dropped in the Middle East,
the demand for weapons and bombs will be increasing.
That is to say, the military-industrial complex will obtain
higher revenues. By the same token, dropping bombs in
the Middle East increase the price of oil, as the oil market
and foreign importers expect a possible oil shortage and
uncertain conditions. Thus, they are willing to pay high oil
prices for future delivery. Clearly, very high revenues and
profits will be generated by the oil corporations (and other
related industries) and the financiers. The danger of this
condition is that these corporations are very powerful and
have their supporters every where in the world and will
take a defensive position for their profits. They can play a
crucial role in perpetuating the military approach to the
U.S. foreign policy. That is, these corporations can
always influence a democratic government to use bombs
and missiles in dealing with foreign conflicts.
