Interesting point of view..
One thing I note is that the leaders of countries.. the politicians & businessmen as you call them - seldom pay a price for war.
Saddam may come to mind, but even if he gets killed by the US, he's had a pretty good past 20 years running a country, I mean, he's got a fair bit of wealth & runs a country, not a bad deal for him.
Except, he should have taken the offer of exile and gone with that, he still could have lived like a king in first class luxury, just couldn't control a country
