I disagree with this one ,the country who said "non" is still making a good (and better) business with a very more important customer than Iraq (who said the USA?

).
Speaking of money only is an abusive simplification IMO.
Simply Bush jr and his team were just not able to market their war like Bush sr.
Their postulate was not seen as a axiom (do you notice I'm doing to much math currently ?

),if it had worked it's likely they will have been able to set up a wider coalition and not a coalition demonstrating clientelism.
