These wars have helped business, to be certain. I would say the general changes in our economic factors (the much smaller share of manufacturing) makes the difference, but these wars have helped some smaller companies in manufacturing. My dad's steel forging company has benefitted most from the war and from (sadly enough) hydraulic fracking

Wow that's got to be a pretty big ethical dilema for you.  It reminds me of the episode of Roseanne where Darlene realizes that all of the money she gets from stuff comes from her mother's loose meat restraunt despite her being a staunch vegetarian.  (Of course it only reminds me of this because I work a boring nightshfit job with a TV and that episode was just on recently.)

Still, in general all I hear on TV from liberals is how the Wars sent us into this crashing recession.  Went from watching no TV to way to much with no choice.  (Just active enough that reading a book doesn't work.)

Not an ethical dilemma as such. I'm not opposed to hydraulic fracking right off the top of my head, just how the fracking industry seems to be determined to avoid all environmental regulation or responsibility. Marcellus shale presents possibilities, but environmental standards must be enforced, and while i did not support the beginning of the Iraq war, i supported its continuation in the peacekeeping phase (in the "we made this mess, we clean it up" morality), and supported the war in Afghanistan
