in the previous the 2nd Iraq conflict Saddam develop into undercutting OPEC to the quantity that it had develop into an irrelevance and accounting for inflation we (the finished international) have been paying much less for oil than as a results of fact the 60's. Taking that under consideration this is costing the international rather extra suitable than every physique is pondering at the same time as this is doing wonders for the Wahhabi/Saudi fundamentalists (which develop into Al Qaeda's plan all alongside inc filling the capability vacuum in Iraq whilst the U. S. leaves presently). yet you're evaluating apples w. oranges; if we initiate State subsidies for industries and commerce wars ole Bin weighted down would be guffawing from his grave (we could in simple terms wish he did no longer get his seven hundred virgins besides!); it does quite seem as though the finished of the West is equivalent to a grizzled previous undergo lurching with regards to the pit that in simple terms won't be in a position to have the money for extra errors on the size we've been making them. via ways, Clinton's trick develop into to adhere strictly to conservative spending plans in the time of his tenure at the same time as rolling around interior the constructive properties made out of having been gifted a decade of almost unfastened oil from the Gulf conflict a million folly that led to 9/11.

All that money is spent trying to straighten up Iraqis. The problem is that we should really learn from history. Iraqis could never be straightened up with rebuilding it and trying to impose democracy into it. It should be lead by a Dictator even worse than Saddam. Since the ancient history of Babylon till date, Iraq has been in peace and harmony if lead by a dictator. Once the Iraqis (while i have nothing against them as individuals) sense any kind of freedom they just turn against each other and start killing their leaders then themselves.
A wise man once told me "if you want to predict the future, go back to the history" and it's very applicable here.
Just for the record:
If any Iraqi left Iraq and the community surrounding him/her, that individual could do miracles and become a pioneer in one thing or another.

Yo mubafa or what ever your name is, mind your own business. Either hide your face in a ski mask and shoot some more women and children like the towel head coward you are or go bury your head in that cat box you call a country and let the cat bury you like the turd you really are.
How ironic. The U.S. pays for all those munitions used to bomb you back to the 7th century by refining and selling the oil we suck out from under your feet.

I think you mean 2 billion per week, 8 billion per month.
The members of the military get very little of that money in the way of pay. It's all spent on supplies and weapons.
And, if you're so into hating on America, we laugh. Who else can spend that money just on war and still sit around in air conditioning playing XBox on our HDTVs? So mock us if you want to, but we're doing just fine, thank you.

Well, it is all borrowed, given to our corporate welfare recipients for the most part. Along with that, Bush put us another 3 1/2 Trillion in debt! And guess who doesn't want to repay it, or I guess they think we can give tax cuts to the rich forever!
The Repubs have NEVER even come close to a balanced budget, but the don't want to pay for all their spending either. If taxes are raised to pay off the INTEREST on the debt, they will be whining it is all the Democrats fault!
Huh? They have had congress 5 months vs 12 years of fiscally irresponsible spending by the Repubs!

8 billion a week would be 32 bil a month. And who are "you guys?" The USA should spend any amount of money to keep our country safe.

That's like 6 dollars per person per week. And the rich are paying most of it. I think we can afford it. It's better than getting nuked.
