We did, don't you remember? This was all a War For Oil. The only reason we invaded was to get our greedy little capitalist imperial hands on the sovereign oil of the peace-loving nation of Iraq.Turquoise wrote:
I still wonder why we haven't secured some of the oil wealth for ourselves. We really should.
Obviously, the only reason we have not seen any benifit of it is that all of the evil oil companies kept all of the profit, then got really greedy and hiked up the price of oil to keep their record profits up. Now, the reason the prices are down is because they are scared that the people are rising up and looking for alternative fuels seriously now, so they dropped to price to keep us hooked.
After all, the oil companies run the world and control the economy, right?
