Can we see similarities between Enron and Iraq war?
Enron became corrupt with the money it made but its corruption was aided by the big financial institutions: Merril Lynch, trusted Arthur Anderson accounting and the Bush administration. The money was so plentiful nobdoy wanted to stop even though it obvious to anybody who looked Enron was going bankrupt.
The quest to find Osama Ben Laden may have been right, but it soon became corrupt and we were lied to and went into Iraq but not without the help of Congress, Republicans and Democrats and the media as well. Iraq became a "Thing" that nobody wants to stop even though rational thinking people can easily see the lies, oil contracts, bilions to Haliburton while our soldiers are dying. The adminstration continues lying about our "success" and the Democrats keep giving the president powers, the media mumbles that it stinks but still buys the White House propaganda and shovels it down America's throat
In the end it is the people who trusted, who loose.

Yes, at the end of the day. Someone is making more money than we can imagine.
There is no evil, just good ol' fashion greed.
I kinda see what you are saying, but comparing Enron to 9/11, a war in Afganistan, a war in Iraq, and a global fight to prevent future terrorist attacks does not make that much sense. Enron was just an accounting fraud on a large scale it has happened many times an will happen again. Enron was NOT obvious at all, they were covered by many very experienced independent analysts who were fooled. In hindsight there were a lot of analysts who were dead set against the company and thought the fuzzy accounting was a problem.
As for Haliburton. They are worth 30 billion in market cap, that is the same a as lot of other companies. No matter who the next president is, if they need a water plant repaired in central america after a failed revolution, they will call Haliburton. Clinton used Haliburton. There are a limited number of companies who can do these things on short notice in hostile situations.
If you want to play connect the dots, go back to the Shaw of Iran. Once he was overthrown, it was just a matter of time until the US tried to gain back a military presence in the middle east.
Good to look at, but the situation is much more complex and goes below the simple clucks of big oil and halibutron.
