    As of late, many people have been accrediting Bush's actions to his lust for the middle-eastern crown jewel - oil fields. The recent increase in prices is only setting a precedent for the bleak future as any industrialized nation is at the mercy of crude oil - not only does it fuel their many machines, it also is the base constituent of many items for the plastic and pharmaceutical industries along with many others. Our reserves are scarce and the source itself is nearly dry, yet we continue to burn through this very limited resource as if it were never-ending. By the end of our lifetimes we will be seeing prices as high as 50$/barrel and they will only escalate until the market finally crumbles and we fall into the worst depression to date.
    Yes, you can continue to believe that we went to war just because of OIL. Well, you guys should know that the USA is a super power and needs oil to continue and thrive. To say that we dont need it is like saying you hate the U.S. I myself personally dont think the war was for oil, but for other things. Take down Saddam, liberate the iraqi people, establish a good government in the region, and hopefully stablize the middle east, one of the most chaos area of the world. Dont get me wrong, I know most people say that the war happened because we wanted to find the WMDs but really, even if we dont find them. We do know that they were once there before. And also that story about America's/ Britain's intelligence that Saddam was trying to get uranium in Africa? Happened to be true, if you look at recent news reports.

    I myself think people should stop saying its the problem for the USA, but for the world. Like for example if we were to goto Iran alot of people would say that ;;oh the USA is being a bully!It's only the USA's problem'' when really it should be the world's problem. Because Iran cant be trusted with Nuclear Weapons. And they say its for energy purposes when really I think its for other purposes rather then energy purposes. But yes, the world can just sit by and wait for somthing bad to happen rather then just stop it from happening. And when it does happen dont blame Bush.

    This reminds me of that documentary film. What was it called? Hiroshima. Where they were discussing wither we should drop the bomb on Japan to end the war. If we didnt drop the bomb, not so many countries would wanting to have nuclear weapons, including Russia. By not dropping the bomb, it could've prevented from the conflicts of today. There probably would've never been a cold war. Hell, even the USA would be the only country in the world to have the Nuclear Bomb! But who knows, that's history, and what happened, happened.

    And I'll say this, that in a lifetime of ours. The hydrogene engine will be finished and we will have no more dependance on foreign oil. And the rich middle eastern countries, and the countries we get the oil from, will be poorer, since we no longer buy there oil. No more money to terrorists! Yay. That's all I have to say bout' this.


    Yeah, besides liberating Iraq. And the war on terror. I think as a American citizen we should help Africa with the AIDs emergency that is happening down there. We should do good things. Why not help Africa? Lots of people are dieing because of this disease. Hell, you know oil pipelines? Why not make water pipelines go over there so the land gets irrigated! Like the only major river over there is the Nile river. And I'm sure this would work! Just think about the rivers in the USA, like for example. The Columbian river here in Washington flows right out into the pacific ocean. Fresh water, going put to waste. Why make a pipe line damnit! And also whats happening in Sudan, the genocide that is happening, just like what happened years ago in the late 1990s' with Rwanda.People are dieing just because of there religious beliefs and there race. We should help them!


    Well enough me blaabbering, I got carried a way. Sorry bout that.
