Ethics/morality aside, it's a pretty smart financial move to sell goods and services to multiple sides of a prolonged conflict. Sure, some of them might figure it out and bomb an iconic skyscraper in a major city, but what's a few thousand peasant lives against the billions of dollars that could be gained?

Last time it happened, we got a decade of oil out of it. Not a bad deal to be honest. I'm not sure how it works though, if it's 10 years per event or 5 years per tower.
