Are you so trusting? Of course Iraq wanted to sell it's oil. It wanted to make a profit. Now that an "America-friendly" government is in power, the US will get the oil at a much better price. You know that. If they make less profit, they are less likely to survive their destroyed econemy.
Our money is borrrowed money (thank you for a good post, arch13. You da man.). A lot of our money is coming from (ta dah!) CHINA. Money from China is supporting the fight against communism. Oh the hypocracy!
While we probably won't hit an economic wall on the international level, we will probably see a slow rot in countries like the US who insist on borrowing instead of fixing the hemrage. The US, at it's present course, will only be a superpower for another 20-30 years at the most.
