I think qapmoc is right, but it looks like there is more to it than simply who has the oil. In 2000 or there abouts, Saddam insisted that the oil they were selling had to be traded in euros rather than dollars. Iran is currently putting together its own oil trading system that also uses euros and not dollars. The effect of this would be to remove a lot of dollars from circulation (and seriously strengthen the euro) and do very serious damage to a fairly flaky US economy.
Here and Here are a couple of interesting articles on this. Further info can be found by putting something like iran oil euro trading into Google. It throws up loads of stuff that I've never seen mentioned before, pretty much all of which worries me for the future. If Iran gets invaded, it'll be made out by them to be a holy war and pretty soon it could be WWIII. Apparently all so that rich US industrialists get to keep their cash and get some more.
Great articles Ralph. Very interesting....
Just got back from America to visit family and can feel a distinct "siege" mentality. No one trusts Bush now, but life is getting so hard (inflation, high housing/petrol costs, increasing medical insurance costs, rising unemployment, increasing racial/ethnic tensions, etc..etc..) on a daily basis, that his warmongering will continue to go unchallenged. So yes, they totally have the nerve to engage Iran in all-out war.
Even a debate or friendly worded discussion on these issues would be refreshing! Had to listen to daily "Bush" sessions on the news for a week and it was torture. Getting information from that guy is like trying to squeeze lemon juice from a pile of rocks.
He's got a new book out apparantly and if you love noam chomsky and by reading most of your posts dom tuk you must do you'll love it...full of simplistic political and economic conspiracy nonsense i bet..
