umm, and whose fault is it?

Oil is Iraq's most valuable export, and Iraqis need to produce all they can of it to rebuild their country. Wars, mismanagement and 12 years of U.N. sanctions devastated the economy, and looters pillaged much of what was left after Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s ouster last April.


So, we bomb the fuck out of them, and push sanctions on them, and then, after all that, it is THEY who have to pay the cost? Not any question, no sort of debate on the issue. Just the statement: Iraqis need to sell their oil to pay for the damage that they received at the hands of an aggressor.

Fuck that.

What's worse, is that 'their' oil won't pay for it, but amazingly become USA oil.

That's right, NOTHING! Now get back to being a productive citizen-consumer and quit griping!
