<All Saddam had to do was make a deal with the US on the oil and Bush would have been visiting Saddam and planting kisses on his cheeks as he did with the dictator of Saudi Arabia.>

THOMAS, you’ve got that absolutely correct.

The irritant was that Saddam had begun to trade oil for Euros, which is actually what got him invaded and lynched, with millions of Iraqis dead as ‘collateral damage’. This very same fate has now placed Ahmadinejad in the cross-hairs of this neo-roman legion, because, as of December 2007, he too had begun trading Oil in Euros, to the silent cheers of the Saudis.

In similar light, if Ahmadinejad had fallen under the spell of the American dream, he too would have been inundated with Haliburton contracts, ready to build for him any number of nuclear power stations his heart desired; showering his population with credit cards; with the deceptive intent of debt slavery.

They simply see the transparency of the scheme and do not wish to be corralled into this American fright-mare. The magicians of sound and vision, the corporate lens, has been very effective in casting its psychological tricks of demonization, when if fact, it is they who are the real demons.

Peace, Best Wishes and Hope

By P. T., January 25: “What currency oil is traded in is no big deal to anybody, including the U.S., since the major currencies are readily convertible...”

You are quite wrong, P. T. and the current economic crisis should prove a thing or two to you, uhh.

I’ve posted this link before but it is perhaps timely to look at it again.......

Cost, Abuse and Danger of the Dollar:-

Those who use dollars outside the US continuously pay a contribution to the US. It comes in the form of an inflation of 1.25 million dollars per minute. This is the result of the fast increase of the US foreign debt. Half of all US’ imports are simply added to the foreign debt and paid for by the foreign dollar holders through inflation. 

This free shopping did not only occur at the start. As soon as more dollars are needed in the oil trade, by increase in price or volume, that means free shopping for the US..... http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va& aid=6893

99, it may be sound misleading, but it is not a lie. Iran may not have started the war, but they did invade Iraq several times during the later part of the eight year Iran-Iraq war, attempting to capture Iraqi cities like Kirkuk and Basra, with their government calling for the overthrow of the Baath regime.

The word invasion does not necessarily denote instigation of hostilities, but simply the offensive entry of armed forces into another nation’s territory during a conflict.

Example: When we say the WW2 Allied Powers invaded Europe on D-Day, we are not implying that they started the war in Europe, or were the ‘bad guys’.

It is ironic that Saddam, a risk taker himself, did not seem to understand the big risks the most aggressive U.S. imperialists will take.  They will risk disaster, as in Iraq.

All Saddam had to do was make a deal with the US on the oil and Bush would have been visiting Saddam and planting kisses on his cheeks as he did with the dictator of Saudi Arabia.Saddam did not realize that when you are talking about billions of dollars in oil that George Bush would dummy up intelligence to facilitate invading Iraq.If Saddam had allowed the inspectors to continue inspecting and found no weapons of mass destuction Bush would have found another reason to invadw.Saddam listen to me ,it was about the oil.
