Do you really think those things would have happened if the Iraq War wasn’t happening? On what evidence would you base that?

That’s like me saying, “If Tom Brady wasn’t getting paid $10 million dollars a year, the administrative assistants at the Patriots headquarters would each be making $50K more per year”.

That’s not how resource allocation works in the real world. I know you like to fancy yourself so connected to reality, but it’d be nice if you actually posted some evidence of that once in a while.
