I just wonder what you North Americans feel about the war in Iraq.
Do you think it's right? (why/why not?) This war is expensive for US. How much are you willing to sacrifice from a domestic perspective (money and casualties) to win. Other strong opinions...? I am just curious.......  --------------------  Members Of Barbarossa  |

I just read a book call Making A Killing by Captain James Ashcroft about the whole Iraq situation and he made some interesting observations. First off, back in the day, all oil was traded with US dollars; however, some countries have switched over to the Euro, inlcuding yours truly, Iraq. But guess what, after we invaded Iraq, they mysteriously started trading oil with the US dollar again. Coincidence? I think not. Oil being traded in US dollars helps keep our economy rolling and preventing a collapse even as our textile mills and furniture factories close by the day. If we're looking for WMDs, why not go to North Korea? If we're stopping genocide, why not go to Rwanada or Darfur? As for why we are in this awful situation, no one will really knows except Dubya and the good Lord himself.
God Bless America and our troops. -------------------- For old times: Thanks Gene, long live MoH:AA!

You do know that we get very little of our oil from Iraq right? Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Venezuela are the top four in that order for crude oil. -------------------- Idle hands spend time at the genitals, and we all know how much God hates that.
