I think your CHinese bias is affecting you from seeing things clearly. You're the one saying it's all about oil and I'm saying it's far more complex. I can't even make sense of what your wrote - sounds like something from Chinese propaganda though.
Greenspan makes some good points but I am not too happy with him right now. He kept interest rates at 1 freaking % for a year and caused the huge bubble mess we have now. Of course, he accepts no blame for it.
Another general agrees with Greenspan. Iraq war was about oil. -- Abizaid: ‘We’ve Treated The Arab World As A Collection Of Big Gas Stations’ During a round table discussion on “the Fight for Oil, Water and a Healthy Planet” at Stanford University on Saturday, Gen. John Abizaid (Ret.), the former CENTCOM Commander, said that “of course” the Iraq war is “about oil“: Abizaid has previously argued that the U.S. would need “to keep a long-term military presence in Iraq” in order to protect “the free flow of goods and resources” such as oil, but his Stanford comments go much further in pinning oil as a prime motivator for the war. http://daily.stanford.edu/article/2007/10/15/roundtableDebatesEnergyIssues
I gotta agree with SamFisher on this one. See Mexico...only the incredibly rich and the incredibly poor. Those with so much they don't know what to do with it all, and those who are crossing the border just to earn a living. It is a recipe for disaster.
