Do you all think it is easy running the world? There are so many competing interests and points of view it is hard to control events. Nobody wants to go along with the program unless you grease their palms in various ways.... Look at the map people, it does seem Irak is right in the middle doesn't it. If you put US of A troops in the middle you can conrol the region. It is about oil and it isn't.....It's more about geography. We don't want anymore surprises like 911, and the way to stop them is to control the Fundamentalists source of support and that means to control the center....Irak. From their we can put pressure on Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey. Look to the Jordanian King to be a major player in the years to come. The enemy is Islamic fundamentalism, their goal is to reassert the Islamic religion to it's former glory in the 14th century. The World or global economy will collapse and everything that the West takes for granted will be a thing of the past.....your referigrator, Washing Machines, TV's Computers, SUV's, Porsches.....no jobs, no electriciy no gasoline. Get it...Bush is trying to preserve the West's dominance Politically and economically, let us just say the Western way of thought, which is now to say the American way of doing business since the US of A is the 500 lb Gorilla in the world.
