I don't want to quarrel with the moral issues raised by Dave Mason,
but do remember one thing: when $1.3 million is "spent", the money 
goes somewhere. It goes ultimately into people's pockets, whether
labour or investors. Some of that money even goes to buy food to
feed children.

Sure, money spent to develop agriculture is better spent (in terms of global
humanity) than money spent to develop weapons. But war does wonders for
certain sectors of the economy.
