So one makes money causing and supporting the war and then turns around and makes money on the peace process.

Aha. Isn't this also the reason that Germany and France (and Russia?) didn't want to us take out Saddam Hussein? They were making a swift business selling arms to the Iraqis. I remember during the Iraq war there were a lot of European-made weapons our guys had to deal with.
They also had exclusive rights to many of the oil fields. We wanted Iraqis to develop those oil fields and sell it on the free market. Russia wanted to increase its market share thus inabling them to break OPEC and control the oil market. France was just looking for a secured oil supply for itself.
