Do you really think the US went into Iraq for oil? Let's see we are spending 86 billion on rebuilding Iraq, the cost for us to go in there wasn't cheap either. It would be a pretty silly investment to spend 100's of billions of dollars to get less than that in oil. If we were there for oil why haven't oil prices dropped? You conspirocy therioists are great for a laugh now and then.

Do you really think capitalism is the source of war throughout the world? Why is it the most violent periods of our time filled with constant wars occured when not a single capitalisitic nation existed? As William Wallace if he went to war because of capitalism. He wen't to war to gain freedom! Most wars that have been fought have either been to gain power or gain freedom. To suggest the capitalism causes wars is luadacris.

The cause of the wars that we have today come from ignorance and hatered being taught. It is simple to convince childern of things that aren't true. Breeding hatered is something that can be done very easy, just look at the KKK.

Make a list of all the wars and fighting that have occured post cold war era and tell me what most of them have in common. A majority of them are centered in the middle east and not all of them involve the US (Pakistan/India). This is because hatred is being taught throughout the schools of many of these nations or being passed down through the generations. In fact many nations in the middle east are working to change this. Kuaite just annonced it is rewriting all of it's text books to counteract this problem. It takes time to curve hatered and it takes a lot of money. The first step is to elliminate the ignorance and then teach tollerance.

Blaming all the world problems on the US is ignoranant. Just as saying they are completly guilt free. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". I can't stand the people who always take the simplistic answer of it is the US's fault. This is simalar to parents who blame their kids violonce on voilent TV. The TV may not help but it is not the source of the problem, the source is the parent themselfs.

The theories that people are comming up with these days are silly. "The US created Saddam" no the US may have helped him along somewhat but so did a lot of other nations, a correct statement would say "The world created Saddam". The same goes for OBL.

The notion that the US is after oil in Iraq is also along the same lines, it is far to simplisitic to be the truth. The ammount of money the US is spending alone should show you it isn't there for oil. If you want to see who was there for oil look at the countries that had the huge oil deals and wanted to keep Saddam in power.

The US has lead the way for freedoms and rights for the world many times. Ideally the whole would would be a free world but this i fear will not happen during my lifetime. Instead people will be oppressed by their government and kept in backwards nations because the dictators in power only care about keeping themselfs in power.
