Hi,

taking some time off from wage slavery - here are my
two bits.

Iraq War. There seem to be two threads of thought on
this list. 

One that Dubya is kookoo and is rushing pellmell into
war with iraq due to penis envy or whatever...

the other that amerikans have finally shown their true
imperialistic colors and the world is trying to hold
them back.

Well here is my take on the situation.

We are not just talking about Iraq's oil, but also the
oil in Iran, and the whole CIS states. Whoever
controls this controls a major chunk of energy
resources in the 21st century. After Iraq will come
Iran, which will open southern export routes for CIS
oil and gas.

Currently, the only viable outlet for these CIS
resources is through Russia and Europe.
 
This war is not between USA and IRAQ but between USA
and EUROPE. A war for control of resources and
economic strength in the new century. 

This war is not the insanity of one person but policy.

Russia and Europe are not opposing US out of any love
of peace but from a very practical position as gateway
to those CIS resources.

Afghanistan should have worked, but has always been
too fractured and difficult for any foreign power to
control,(ask the british and russians). And the pro
russian Northern Alliance taking over didn't help. So
USA after seeing that they couldn't control
Afghanistan, decide to go for the whole enchilada. 

Russia and Europe have realized this, though a bit
late and are now scrambling to counter this attack.
Britain with nothing to gain from CIS, has picked its
side. Again policy. Not Blair Witch's personal agenda.

Russia and Europe cannot confront USA directly, but
will try their damndest to confound it. USA is being a
bit hamfisted. but point to remember, every thing
these leaders say is for our consumption, and has
nothing to to with the truth or whatever....
Bushie's cowboy bull is crafted by a slew of political
writers. As is every other leaders bull.


An interesting sidenote to this policy shift of the
USA of direct intervention in OIL countries is the
position of Israel after this plays through. Up till
September 11, USA was using Isreal as a boogey man in
the Middle East, keeping the arab populace focused on
the palistinian problem and off the back of the
sheikhs. But things changed, suddenly USA was directly
involved, the arabs, despite the Palestinian problem
were turning on their own dictators, and despite
Afghanistan, CIS black gold remained out of reach.
After USA marches in to Iraq and probably Iran
afterwards, what use is Isreal? The gloves are off,
unka sam is in the ring. does america need to
continues pouring billions into Israel, or will it
throw the arabs a bone? placate them. all it needs to
do is turn down the money and arms flow to a trickle. 
Yes, there is a lot of support for Isreal in the US,
but that support exists on the sufferance of the
powerbrokers, as long as it is helping their goals. If
it runs counter, it will be put down.

Well that was one bit, will post the second bit later.

Take care y'all, Heehaw.

Ali.

ps. Any one listen to David Cross's "Shut up you
fucking baby"?
