Argument One: The primary goal of business is to stay in business. Well, no arguement there, currently serving politicians want to remain in office.
Argument Two: Secondary, but actually a real goal: To generate income for profits. First off, the cost of this military excursion into Iraq is well beyond the ten's of millions, even over a few hundred of them. Which profit will be gained? The capture of Iraqi gold or oil? Ironically, our government officials claim that neither is the intended spoils.
Argument Three: Cutting costs is very high on the list. Yes, the cost of live in the disaster of September 11th, 2001 was extreme from a terroristic slant. The structural damages were also. Should one consider the additional few hundred lost lives of soldiers to have been vain or actually "preventing" another such occurance as "9-11".
Argument Four: To keep up public relations while growing as a business is a very wise goal. Is the United States and even the United Kingdom or United Nations keeping face with the current plan of "The Roadmap to Peace in the Middle East"? The authors of this plan include the U.S, the E.C. and other outside interests; not so much the countries in that region itself.
Argument Five: Each business should set communication and feedback as a high goal. We are certainly hearing a lot of feedback from many of the members of the United Nations. Resolutions are being passed to support or undermine the current environment. Is anyone actually listening to the input given from an non-emotional, unbiased perspective?
