Is the present without comparrison to the past?
Are you all fooled into thinking that resorce wars are new?

Was WW2 just a war to remove an evil dictator who wanted to expand an empire?

Or was it the efforts of each player to retain or aquire oil.

Was the advance on Russia to aquire oil by Germany, and was its efforts in Africa for the same reasons and the middle east to secure more. Did the British and American forces fight for freedom or did they fight to protect oil.

Was'nt the Japanese war to exploit the resorces in their location, to add to their stocks as they too needed to expand their empire?

WHose empire needs to repeat this struggle?

Are Iraqis scared into complying with the rule of occupoation because the fear an invation of stalanist communism as germany was in 1946?.

Are they scared of a third nucleuar attack as the japanese were?

It would seem all comparissons with the past are the same except the effect they may have on the future.

Iraq will by choice become part of a Iranian super state as it shares the religious beliefs of that nation and as a result will become a future target of US agression.

The war aint over because the truth hurts, we have not won the oil
